	I am curious why you think that it does not make sense to count
retranmits against the SA lifetime in IKE. If you counted the first
packet (not a retransmit) then why not count the retransmits. All the QM
negotiations are traveling under the protection of a particular phase
one SA. 
	This is not a major issue to me, and I would be happy with either
resolution to the question. I'm just trying to see your prespective.
