draft-kivinen-ipsecme-signature-auth-01 is about to expire. Given the current discussions on potential backdoors in NIST
curves (don't want to participate in these conspiracy theories though), signature algorithm flexibility may be even more
desirable.

Can we move forward with that draft? I am not sure if there have been considerable comments or objections.
