Changes between -06 and -07:

    o  Be more reserved about multi-hop security properties in section
       'Multi-Hop Protocol Sessions'.

    o  Clarify IP-in-IP tunnel decapsulation/forwarding as decrementing
       TTL.

    o  Add text on related messages backwards compatibility.

    o  Editorial updates.

Comments welcome.  In particular about new backwards compat text in 
section 6.1   Note however that Section 5 (Security Considerations) 
has been significantly reworked already, so if you have comments on 
that, please hold off.

I'll post a new I-D in a week or two, but if you want to comment right 
away, please send them to so that they can be incorporated.
