One major advantage to message-level encryption would be the option to
mix a stream.
For example, consider the following stream:
Authentication
--->
Acknowledgement
<---
Request
--->
Response
<---
{Time}
Ping
--->
Pong
<---
Being able to be discriminatory about when encryption is employed might
be beneficial (of course, it might also lead to really bad practices ;)
