The problem is that ISP caches are essentially impossible with SPDY, because of mandatory TLS.

I'd consider that a feature, not a bug. Transparent proxies considered harmful, especially when done without informing their users.

A SPDY client that trusts a particular proxy could easily allow that proxy to operate on its behalf, and SPDY would actually make that far more efficient.
