This has flummoxed a few reviewers. Tables such as those in section 3.3.2 are already out of date because things have been added since RFC 4306. I propose that we remove all these tables from IKEv2bis, and add notes pointing to the current IANA registries. I cannot see how doing this lookup will hurt developers: in fact, it forces them to actually look at the up-to-date tables. I can see how we might want to leave the tables in, but it really is confusing.
