  The other front runner was KEG-- The Key Exchange Gestalt. I happen to
think that gestalt is a nice way to describe it but I just couldn't call
this protocol KEG with a straight face (and I doubt you could either). 
Perhaps if we renamed IPSec to be the Basic Encryption Encoding Rules....

  I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by the "wild mileau of
Key exchanges floating arount in IETF working groups". Care to expand on
that?
