Agreed. This point has been made a number of times already on the
mailing-list (and off-list too).

That aside, the argument of "this being a specific case of split
tunelling" has been argued against both on and off-list. This post
summarizes the issue pretty well, I think:
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/opsec/current/msg01565.html>
(and comes with the "extra" of someone working on VPN code).

But at this point in time I can live with the IESG note, if that's
what it takes.

Thanks,
