The XHOP message has a hop list. This does leak some meta-data (although insufficient to trace the path) of the full path. We want to support nested XHOPs where there may be only one or some subset of the full path in a given XHOP. A set of nested XHOPs would then be required to provide the full path.

This approach is less efficient (more complex packet) but minimizes the meta-data about the path.

This adds an extra layer of meta-data correlation protection beyond that provided by splitting the path data between in band xhop path and out of band table data maintained by each intermediary at the cost of more verbose more complex XHOP messages.

We should explicate how to use nested XHOPs.
There is no change to the packet format.
