Good question. In general, for approach #2, one needs only a single 
SA between two implementations to carry all non-initial fragments 
between them. But, if you chose to have multiple SAs between two 
implementations, for QoS differentiation, then you might want 
multiple SAs to carry non-initial fragments, one for each supported 
QoS class. Since support for QoS via distinct SAs is a local matter, 
not mandated by 2401/2401bis, this too should be a local choice.
