More on algorithms for IKEv2

[Paul Hoffman / VPNC <paul.hoffman@vpnc.org>]

Based on Gregory's comments and talking to Charlie, I revised my 
IKEv2 algorithms document. It's now at 
<ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-hoffman-ipsec-algorithms-02.txt>. 
The major change was to move the MODP groups from the main IKEv2 
document into the algorithms document, but I also corrected the typos 
that Greogy pointed out and updated the reference to RFC 3526 and 
made the IANA considerations clearer.

On thing that Gregory asked for that I didn't do (yet) is:

I'm willing to do that if people want it, but I don't consider it all 
that hard for someone reading the document to look at the paragraph 
after the table to figure out the MUST and SHOULD requirements.
