ok. that's a different story. i remember these two proposals. what i
disliked with them was that they do not provide a solution for dynamic
authentication and key management. why isn't something tackling this
issue? this would also solve the aspect of algorithm negotiation.
wouldn't be something like radius domain of interopretation for isakmp
be appropriate here.

i know project management techniques. i hope the best for you that your
document split plan works. 
there is also a rule that says "adding manpower to a late project makes
it later."

in ecrit we scheduled an interim meeting that helped a lot to speedup
the work on the document.  
you might also want to think about it.
