Joe,

I agree with Henry here.  We have security issues that influence 
whether, when, and how we copy data between the red and black IP 
headers, in tunnel mode. 2003 is not attuned to the issues, nor 
should it be.

In the rewrite of 2401, we will try to do a much better job of 
describing these mappings, and the rationale behind each.  We didn't 
get all of them right last time and will try to do better this time 
around.

Steve
