It'd be interesting to see whether or not Apple changed the Siri protocol since the acquisition. Was this originally how Siri worked when it was independent?
Because Siri has roots in government contracting (it's named after SRI International, and was originally funded by DARPA) I wonder if the roots of the obfuscation start there rather than at Apple.

I don't see any obfuscation here, just a compressed binary encoding.
I believe the DARPA project was purely textual, and speech recognition was only added after it was spun off to make it more consumer friendly.
