I fully support a IPSecond effort to clean up this and several other problems
in the overall architecture. We now have three years of implementation and
operational experience with IPSec and IKE and this is one of the things that
should be cleaned up. However, I still would not support this if this were
the sole reason we were to be contemplating opening up the RFC's...
I will bow to the chair, but I seem to recall that pruning is something
that can be done and still progress to draft. So though removing AH might
seem to be rather major surgery ( :), it might be acceptable to the IESG.
