I think there are two important things still unresolved; one fairly
small, one a bunch bigger.
The question of the proper way to combine authentication and
encryption is still outstanding; several people have excellent
arguments on why the keyed hash (or whatever) should be outside of the
encrypted area and several people have excellent arguments on why it
should be inside. I've avoided thinking about it for a couple of
weeks.
There is also the question of ICMP messages, which I'm worrying about
right now; part of the reason I've been putting this off is to see
what turns up while I implement.
Other than that, I think that the AH and ESP stuff are pretty much
done with.
