Why are you worried about this? It’s not like someone’s going to demand we add a new permission-requesting protocol into the internet; that is equivalent to what is already there. Is there any possibility that someone in US government or ISP services is going to require specific contractual permission in order to hit a website? That seems totally ridiculous because free interconnectivity is exactly what one purchases with an internet connection and limiting this makes the product suck, thus losing business.
