I'm surprised by this, since VET has been around for
quite some time now. The first version of VET is already
published as RFC5558. The (bis) version is very far down
the development path as 'draft-templin-intarea-vet', and
I will soon also seek publication for it. VET (i.e., the
(bis) version) is best read in conjunction with SEAL
('draft-templin-intarea-seal').

Please also stay tuned for a new version of IRON very soon.

Thanks - Fred
