ISAKMP - Vendor ID Payload

["Elfed T. Weaver" <[e-mail]>]

Is this extension to ISAKMP really necessary. It sounds to me that 
what it is meant to achieve can be achieved by defining a vendor 
specific DOI - based primarily on the Internet DOI.

Having a DOI ID in, SA Payload, Notification Payload and the Delete 
Payload should support use of a different DOI in Phase 2 even if 
Phase 1 was established using the Internet DOI.

Adding extra payloads at this stage in the standardisation process is 
only opening us up to additional delays - you can bet your bottom 
dollar that once you get it in the draft someone will want to change 
something !

If it can be worked around using another DOI ID then do that, please 
(personally I'm getting quite fed-up with having to read endless 
documents that only have minor (non-critical) tweaks in them since 
the last version)
