Yes,
If an authentication fails it could mean the algo's used are different.
And if one implementation supports MD5 alone( "which I believe is commonly used !" ), the others
support otherwise, It could be a problem, there is no explicit way we are converying which algo is being used.
The Au Type = 2 is overloaded.
Now a "MUST" clause is for the WG to decide.

What do you mean by the default algo? Is it one authentication algorithm that all implementations MUST support?
