Does this mean our nodes could soon be routing USDT transactions? From my understanding after looking at the Taproot Assets docs, nodes wanting to send or receive USDT would need a Taproot Assets enabled channel but the transaction is passed as a standard Bitcoin lightning payment through intermediate nodes.

Normal bitcoin routing nodes won't know if they are sending taproot assets payments or not.
correction: Won't know if they are routing/forwarding taproot assets payments or not.
