Is this your religion or something?  We've been telling you and telling
you that this is *NOT TRUE*.

FreeS/WAN, for example, is a widely-deployed IPsec implementation using PK
without PKI.  Can you explain why you believe this to be impossible?

No argument there.  But it's irrelevant to the discussion at hand, since
PK does *NOT* imply PKI or X.509.
