[e2e] Transparent subnets with Proxy Arp

What was so bad about using proxy ARP to implement transparent
subnets a la RFC 1027? (aside from being a violation of the e2e
principle)
The Host Requirements RFC includes a comment about it
interfering with transport layer dynamics. And some other
references mentioned problems when an ARP table maps
several hosts to a single MAC. In both cases the actual
problems weren't described.
Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!
