Comment (by arma):

 To set expectations here: I think adding a proof-of-rendezvous-point to
 the design is a wild and crazy idea. It would be great to have a simpler
 and cleaner idea that helps solve the problem instead.

 (And to respond to cypherbits's point, yes it can potentially help with
 future DoS issues, but we should also remember that it would not help with
 the current DoS issues, because as far as I know they really are
 establishing rendezvous points and otherwise following the protocol.)
