I read K.Robert Glenn's mail in this ML that I-D of I-NLSP would come.
It isn't yet submitted past 8/30/93, but I expect it will come soon...

I also expect I-D of "swIPe" will come soon.
Two of above researchers will publish a paper of swIPe in the
Proceedings of USENIX 4th Security Symposium. I obtained the
PostScript version and found [6] in reference might be I-D.
Is this right?

Is there a person working to write the I-D of SP3, or the I-D
of SP3 will continue to be unavailable?

Agreed.
