  Other than the Y2K compliance needed, I like your proposal.

  I know that you have argued for having them at the GUI level, while I think
that they should be negotiated directly. My belief is that one reason for
resistance to getting the numbers assigned is that people believe that the
IANA is hard to work with. 

  Paul said that he was working to fix that. How is that going?

  It seems that a named ciphersuite needs an RFC to describe it anyway.
Getting a number assigned seems simple to me.
