BTW: Johannes Merkle submitted http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-merkle-ikev2-ke-brainpool-00 that requests points for the same curves for IKEv2.

I'm wondering if we really need 7 different strengths as opposed to, say, 3, and whether we need both a twisted and non-twisted variation for each. Neither document discusses the why one would prefer the twisted to the non-twisted variant, or the non-twisted to the twisted. RFC 5639 does not give such considerations either, but documents that relate to protocols should IMO.
