from experiences from past interop tests, i would be much happier if:
- the order of proposal on IKE packet
- interpretation of proposal
are exactly specified in the document. we saw a lot of varied
interpretation because of the document's unclarity (like how you
specify "tunnel" in the proposal). it is not good to solve protocol
ambiguity in interop events. protocol documents must be unambiguous
enough so that anyone who reads the document will end up in the
same interpretation.
