Title: Re: [Ipsec] draft-ietf-ipsec-rfc2401bis-02.txt

Sherry,

As you noted, the currently posted 2401bis says:

   9. Conformance Requirements

   All IPv4 systems that claim to implement IPsec MUST comply with all

   requirements of this document.  All IPv6 systems that claim to

   implement IPsec MUST comply with all requirements of this document.

This is probably my fault.  I probably changed the 2 sentences to be parallel wording without thinking about the fact that IPsec is not optional for IPv6 systems.  As Steve says, we'll correct this in the next draft.
