Hi Dan,
there are three drafts on the table, and they are NOT identical. Crypto
protocols, as you know well, are a mixture of cryptography and
engineering. While the engineering on all three is very similar, the
cryptography is not.
I do not wish to offend, but I believe cryptography is better left to
professional cryptographers. I am not a cryptographer; the primary
author of draft-kuegler-ipsecme-pace-ikev2 is.
Thanks,
Yaron

Unfortunately Dan cannot accept that there may be objective, non

Well there certainly wasn't a technical reason. In fact, after
delaying things for several months what we ended up with were 3
drafts that were effectively _identical_ from a technical point of view.
That is the prime reason that the group (and later the AD) could not
agree on which one to choose.
