Thank you Yoav. My personal responses below.
Also, I would like a comment from someone in the know: ChaCha (or at
least its cousin Salsa) has had extensive cryptographic review,
including an open competition. I am not sure the same is true for
Poly1305, can someone enlighten me?
Best,
Yaron

Hi.
I’ve posted a new version of the ChaCha20-Poly1305 draft.

Comments are, of course, welcome, and I’d like to repeat my questions
from the London meeting:
- Should this be a WG item.
Yes, it's time we had good alternative crypto.
- Should we apply for early identifier assignment
No, I don't see such a rush to implement. But feel free to prove me wrong.
- Should this be extended for IKE (current draft covers only ESP)
Yes, we need alternative crypto for IKE just as we do for ESP.
