Comment (by infinity0):

 OK, I think I get the "outermost transport" thing now - a proxy running in
 a browser has to make use of something like websocket in other to talk to
 the client/server in the first place; OTOH a standalone proxy running on
 e.g. node.js can open raw sockets, like in arlolra's commit.

 So each proxy has a suffix-constraint that matches against the full
 transport chain. And if I understood correctly, a raw TCP-TCP proxy can
 proxy anything *including* a obfs|websocket stream, assuming that it's
 valid to cut out the middle man in our websocket transport.
