I think that the multi-SA stuff should be really low impact to IKEv2, and we
should just publish it.
This would be the *interoperable* solution.

ESPv4 is a really good idea.
It will require some experimentation... i.e running code.
To that extent, we might need a WG document (not RFC) that explains how to do
these experiments in a way that does not get in the way of an actual rough
consensus.   The experimental (non-interoperable) solutions might involve
having actual hardware, so it may not as trivial as just changing a few lines
of code.
