most folks using the term "traffic analysis" seems to use it to mean
analysis of everything *except* the encryption.. i.e., looking at
message size, volume, origins, and miscellanous cleartext identifiers
(e.g., ip addresses and SPI's for IPsec).

cryptanalysis? ;-)
sounds like an active chosen-plaintext attack..
