Some remarks to recent papers on traffic analysis: or the case for public Wiki-like platforms for commenting published papers

In this informal contribution we raise a couple of remarks and requests for clarification about some recent papers in the field of traffic analysis. These cases are illustrative of the kind of issues and open points that are encountered when reading, applying and working with published papers. The readers and followers of each published paper - especially of the best ones - form naturally a small community of interest. In most cases the remarks to the paper are of interest for them all. Based on these considerations we raise the following proposal to the research community: let each conference and/or journal editor maintain an open public wiki-like commenting platform for publishing comments and rebuttals after the paper publication.
