yes, I agree. It makes sense to keep the RFC terminology in the
implementation but to use the "common language" in the configuration
grammar. developers need to understand the code related to the RFCs,
users shouldn't have to learn new terminology for crypto thats is
configured in n other places in OpenBSD.

@mikeb isn't it the same in iked? all the fancy IKEv2-RFC terminology
in the code and a configuration that sounds more natural to OpenBSD,
eg. "TS/Traffic Selectors" vs. "from ... to" flows?
