Rodney,

My understanding has never been that AH would go away.  AH and
the proposed "ESP without encryption" do not have identical semantics.

My understanding has always been that existing conforming implementations
of AH/ESP would not be made non-conforming by any of the changes that
Steve Kent is proposing.
