Re: key-ed MD5 again (and before any final call)

First, I will reply to your inane subject line:

I issued a last call on this topic some weeks ago.  The IPng WG has now
issued a last call, but the discussion is taking place on this list.
Copy of the announcement appended.


Second, as to your obtuse inability to read the drafts:

It's surprising that you did not see this draft, since it was announced
to this list _before_ Ran's drafts.

Obviously, you have had some difficulty with your transfer of the text,
since my transfer just now from ds.internic.net yielded:

                   IP Authentication using Keyed MD5
                     draft-ietf-ipsec-ah-md5-02.txt                       |

This is amazingly close to the reference.  The RFC Editor will touch up
the references section when RFCs are published.
