Hi,

I have posted a new draft "Avoiding Authentication Header (AH)"

http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-bhatia-ipsecme-avoiding-ah-00.txt 

Hopefully this will help us focus on the technical, rather than the process 
related contents in the draft.

The message remains the same, which is that we should NOT use AH for any newer 
applications and protocols since ESP with NULL encryption algorithm is a better 
alternative.

Looking forward to hearing from the WG.

Cheers, Manav

Yep, that would work. It would also cut off the chin-scratching about "what 
does Historic really mean" and let us focus on what you actually want, which is 
people not using AH.
