More specifically, in the process of fleshing out detailed examples
including detailed PADs and SPDs we figured out how to describe the
IPsec wildcard PAD entry problem, and that multiple wildcard PAD entries
have more security considerations than a single wildcard PAD entry at
the end of a PAD.

The problem can be addressed in several ways, though it isn't fully
explored in the draft we submitted.
