new AH and ESP specs



Folks,

	Later this afternoon, the list will receive new AH and ESP specs.
The AH spec contains revisions based on feedback received in response to
the last list-only release, plus some general changes to make the AH and
ESP specs more consistent.  The ESP specs contains many changes from the
pre-Memphis version, including all of the issues that have been hashed out
on the list over the last two months.  The one missing item in the ESP spec
if a DES-CBC MUST IMPLEMENT algorithm spec to point to.  I look to the
implementor community to provide (or point to) the necessary document
(which should be fairly small, as the recent RC5 and CAST documents
illustrate) to complete the ESP I-D.

	If the WG does not find a need for any substantive changes, and
with Paul's concurrance, we'll plan to post these as I-Ds through the IETF
secretariat, by the end of next week.  Hopefully, we can move to last call
on these documents soon.

Steve
