This FAQ doesn't address my question.  I also looked at "Transparent
Proxy with Linux and Squid mini-HOWTO" by Daniel Kiracofe.

So far, all docs assume that the squid-box and the browser box are
different machines.

Hrm, I think I need to add an OUTPUT rule that matches on the owner.
If --uid-owner=proxy then the packet should not REDIRECT back to port
3128.  Something like that?
