There was a short discussion a few months ago about Section 6.1 of an 
expired SFTP  drafts.  I used Version 3 as the baseline as that is 
the version which OpenSSH implemented.  In my opinion it would be 
easier to document Version 3 as an IETF specification instead of 
trying to pursue the previous efforts.
