I'd like to put in my two-cents worth for avoiding further complication
  in the existing drafts.

At the neither the Toronto, nor the
  San Jose meetings, did this issue come up.  I have been under the
  assumption that there was an implicit understanding that a key-management
  protocol would eventually emerge, and that the "encapsulation" drafts
  should proceed with that assumption.  I think that we would be doing
  a great dis-service to an already very-late process to introduce
  further complications like in-band key change to a pair of proposals
  that are seeming to solidify very rapidly.

The beauty of the existing drafts (AH and ESP) is that they can operate
  in either a manual or automatically-managed key management environment.
  This is, in my opinion, a great step forward.  I'm getting frustrated
  watching this process get derailed, frequently, by what to the casual
  observer seems like creeping featurism...
