It is not fully clear to me that all of these items are
related to IKE as the first sentence claims, e.g. points
3 and 5?

Also, as I've stated before I'd like to document
somewhere certain clarifications on how IPsec policies
and IKE work in the context of IPv6. Could that be
put also on the list, it seems to fit well with the
short-term-clarify-and-improve approach?
