Taking away freedoms to protect the symbol of freedoms doesn't really make sense to me. Flag desecration will remain an allowed form of speech.
Flag etiquette does matter to me - living on military bases with military culture as a kid really ingrained a lot of that stuff. It does bother me to see the flag demeaned, as it stands for some very noble ideas. In fact, I make a point to observe protocal myself. However, I think of flag protocals as being like table manners. I display my good manners and leave others to themselves. When someone is breaking etiquette, I usually assume that they are either ignorant of good manners or don't care enough to pay attention to their actions. Either one puts you in the same category with me...
