I know the text of RFC 2946 very well.  I am one of the authors.

My point is where did you get the value 129, and who authorized
you to use it?

These are internet standards using shared address spaces.  You can't
just choose numbers out of a hat.  I have already had to deal with
collisions in the name space because people randomly decided to use
arbitrary values without registering them with the appropriate 
organizations.

I would be interested in seeing a write-up of your USE_GSS_ENCRYPTION.
I wonder how you are using GSSAPI for ENCRYPTION without using it 
for authentication.
