  I would prefer not to go this way.

  a) That is kind of prejudging the conclusion to the WG, isn't it?

  b) Perhaps IPSECKEY WG will want to review the prior art.

  c) this protocol is out there... The logs of my test system rotate
     very quickly as people try it out. Many people I've never heard of.
     It should have been documented properly awhile ago.

  d) It certainly (and I thought intentionally) does not fit into the 
     charter of IPSECKEY, so I'm not sure how it would get to PS.

  I definitely want to revise things after IPSECKEY is done. There are
clearly many options in the process for proceeding at that point.
