Peter,

I just skimmed this quickly and what jumped out at me was that this 
mechanism should build algorithm agility in from the start (i.e., 
include an indication of the algorithms used to secure the stanza). 
There's no shortage of protocols that hard coded one algorithm and then 
enjoyed the time consuming effort of adding algorithm agility to a 
version 2 of the protocol.
