[IPSEC-DOI] doesn't include a method to negotiate whether or not to use
an explicit IV and what size to use.  

RFC1829 [ESP-DES] and RFC1851 [ESP-DES3] state that the IV is always 64
octets, but the newer ESP transform drafts
[draft-ietf-ipsec-esp-des-md5-03.txt] state that the explicit IV is
optional and should be negotiated.


Should [IPSEC-DOI] be updated ?
