I agree that people should prefer ESP-null for all new uses.
I spent a few minutes trying to look up the precise definition of
"Historic Documents" in the IETF standards process. Since the definition
appears to be extremely vague and may not clearly apply in this case, I
strongly suggest that we avoid this rathole (and move to the next one),
by adopting the proposed wording below. Manav's I-D is an Independent
document and so its content is completely up to its author; OTOH, I'd
rather not waste the group's energy on not-very-important process
matters. What does matter is that implementers and standards bodies
understand the strengths and weaknesses of our protocols.
Wishing us all a Happy New Year 2012!

If folks dont want to move AH to historic then perhaps this document
could be modified to say something in the lines of - "AH should not be
preferred when designing new protocols and all attempts must be made
to use ESP-NULL"

Really like this suggestion. +1
