I'd like to see this too.

I'm assuming that because it's relatively new, there
are probably undiscovered flaws of greater or lesser
significance, plus it appears to me that there are
still some traffic analysis vulnerabilities.

Undiscovered flaws are a possibility, but at the moment nobody has really
performed any extensive testing to prove its degree of anonymity under
various conditions and attacks.  Just like a new cipher, the experts are
wary of calling it "strong" until it's been exposed to lots of analysis.
