So, I should have waited until after the thurs meeting content
settled... Before sending this blithely off to the AD's for
processing. The room discussion about this draft wended it's way into:

"Is SSH as a transport really necessary?"
  and:
"Well, we like ssh because we understand it... well, maybe we just
need something like md5 or AO?"
  and ended with:
"Hey, AO may be acceptable, we can chat more about this, and
potentially add it if people think it's of interest?"

That said I quickly looked around for 'open source plaforms with AO support':

<http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=net/ipv4/tcp.c;h=b22d450105450ae089d42a06486938fcaa2c80dc;hb=HEAD>

only mentions MD5. I don't see support for AO in FreeBSD, though my
fbsd-foo is ... poor. Do we want to rev the draft and add AO as an
option for the transport? or just stick with SSH?
