Dave,

I just noticed that you have added the following sentence to the base draft in 
section 6.6:

"Implementations MUST support SHA1 authentication.  Other froms of 
authentication are optional."

Since you did not make mention of this in the document changes sections, I 
assume that this does not mean that all implementations must support at least 
this form of authentication.  Is the purpose of this sentence to say that if 
an implementation uses authentication, it must support SHA1?

BTW, there is a typo in this sentence as it should say "forms" instead of 
"froms".

Thanks,

Chris
