The IAB document seems to discuss mechanisms at a much lower level.  I
was invisioning comparing SASL to similar technologies like EAP,
GSSAPI and TLS.


And I was hoping to discuss sasl mechansims as sasl mechanisms.

We should definitely point to the IAB document and when discussing
mechanisms describe them in the category they fit into that framework.
