How about the certificate request payload? There was some talk about
simplifying it so that it would only contain one type / CA and in case
of multiple types / CA's the negotiation would just have multiple
certitificate request payloads.

I think that vendor ID payload is very important because otherwise
there really isn't any use for private attributes in SA etc, because
there is no way to know who's private extensions they unless you use
some out of band configuration data to tell the other end's isakmp
vendor.
