Why do you say that acknowledgements are not a practical means of sending 
data? Roughly how many ACKs would you allow per second? What bit-rate is 
"practical"?

E.g. with 1 bit/sec one could transmit a large 300KB document in under a 
month. Since transmission from public to secret is not restricted one could 
easily specify exactly which juicy bits they are interested in, and get back 
the 10KB they are interested in, within a day.
