Re: forward progress on IPSec AH

Hmmm...I thought we'd been pretty careful about this. Please
let me know where in the AH text we have confused extension
headers with either options or extension headers containing
options (Hop-by-Hop and Destination). That should certainly get
fixed.
They really are minor nits, but since you asked, these were the ones
which I was able to find:
In section 4.1 of the security architecture document:
... In the
case of AH, the protection is also extended to selected portions of
the IP header (and options). For more details on the coverage
afforded by AH, see the AH specification [KA98a].
"IP header (and options)" should probably read something like this "IP
header, extension headers (IPV6), and options (IPV4/IPV6)".
In section 3.3.3.1.2.2 Extension Headers -- Options:
"The IPv6 extension headers (that are options)..."
should probably read "that contain options", since the extension header
isn't itself an option. This was one of the things which confused me
until I read RFC 1883. I'd probably also change the section title to be
"Extension Headers Containing Options".
A similar change should probably be made to the following section,
3.3.3.1.2.3 Extension Headers -- non-Options.
