Tempting, but I'm going to be the five-year-old in the room and remind 
us all of something incredibly obvious that still bears repeating:

Sooner or later, someone has to implement this.

I'm all in favor of evaluating things according to the simplicity of 
implementation as a principal concern, even ahead of performance.  I 
trust that computers are going to continue to get better and better; I 
also trust that complicated solutions, once they get baked into an RFC, 
never die.

Talk about the various efficiencies of CCM mode versus OCB mode, etc., 
bores the heck out of me.  I want to know which one is going to be simpler.
