Re: WG Last call: draft-jenkins-ipsec-rekeying-06.txt




[ With my wg chair hat off ]

While I was reviewing this document for the last call, it struck me that
while most if it is supposed reflect implementation discussions, the
last section, "4.5 Commit bit replacement", probably should be moved
into an appendix, and much more clearly labelled as a proposal for a
future revision of the ipsec protocols.

Right now, it could quite easily be confused as being something
implementors should implement, although without any assigned numbers or
bits'n'bytes details, most implementors wouldn't get very far.  The
danger is that some implementor may invent the implementational details
and claim conformance to the informational RFC, and that could harm
interoperability.  So this text needs to be explicitly set off from the
rest of the discussion somehow.
