CAST & RC5 Abstract correction
There are some substantive errors in language in both the CAST and RC5
drafts. In the Abstracts:
> This draft describes the CAST-128 block cipher algorithm as to be
> used with the IPSec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP).
>
> This draft describes the RC5 block cipher algorithm as to be used
> with the IPSec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP).

This will not always be a draft.
"as to be used" is problematic phrasing.
There is no IPSec protocol. ESP is called an IP protocol (IPv4) or
IP payload (IPv6).
I suggest:
This document describes the <named> block cipher interface elements
used with the IP Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP).
