My intuition is that Intercept is a MUST, while Snoop is a SHOULD or  
MAY. Without Intercept, you can't do in-network processing/ 
suppression. But I suspect this intuition is as much a product of  
"it's how it's been done in the past" as anything else, and therefore  
is definitely worth discussion and scrutiny.
