  There is a certificate type in ISAKMP for SPKI. The format of it has
not been defined. I would suggest that one could either put multiple
SPKI certs (in binary form), just pasted together, or better, a
(sequence ...) of them.

  See isakmp-10, page 34.

  A draft defining a SPKI certificate tag for IPsec SA's would be a
wonderful thing.
