I think this misses the point: this is a pathological case which should
occur only rarely. I don't think that the implications of requiring the
binding are justified by this rare case. I will again point out that
nobody has 'fessed up to summary deletion of phase 1 SAs once phase 2
SAs are established, despite the fact that we've been beating this into
the ground for over a year now. I take that to mean that nobody does it,
and I fail to understand why we don't move on.
