Joe,

  The notion is that the _revised_ AH/ESP specifications should be
written such that existing implementations that conform fully to
RFC-1825 through RFC-1827 are NOT made non-conforming except for
very very good reason (e.g. a specific known cryptographic attack).

  My understanding from Steve Kent during and since Montreal has always
been that his revisions would have the above property -- except as required
to fix specific publicly-known attacks on the existing RFCs.
