I believe that no matter how it proceeds, this extension will definitely need
to be marked "experimental".  

I think that there can be no-interoperation of the IKEv2 side without
interoperation at the QKD side.  My reading is that the QKD side requires 
an unbroken light pipe connection between the two end-points (not sure if
amplification is allowed; I suspect not).  

I agree that really, it's out-of-scope to IPsecME to care about that: the two
end points just have some really high quality random bits that they "share",
and really, *ANY* mechanism (including Pony Express) would do.  {which raises
the question: why KINK isn't a better place for them to start}

As such, I don't see how this work can become "standard" for along time.
Maybe the bis-bis of it.
I am, however, all for accomodating the need for protocol numbers to make this 
work.
