Call me a stickler for consistency, but I'm a little baffled: why do we
require 2 octets to represent SA attributes which are unlikely to ever
require more than a few elements of enumeration, (e.g. key/sa lifetypes,
replay protection), yet define something so prolific as encryption or
hashing tranforms with only one octet? Won't we be sorry if we don't
allocate 2 octets for these?
