I agree.

I yes.  Indeed, maybe we should even remove the qop column and state
that we always use qop 0 unless otherwise stated (and we'll not state
otherwise).

I don't think so.  We've discussed it [since] on IRC, and it's not
relevant here so I'll not burden the cc'ed with it.  I'll bring
something to KITTEN WG about this *after* the interim meeting that's
coming up, but NFSv4 WG should not wait for it.
