if i might suggest, normally in the crypto groups, algorithms and their
labeling are generally separated out from the protocols. this allowed,
for example, AES to easily be added to the IPSec and SSH suites
w/o messing with the existing drafts. i would submit that labeling
should be a separate draft which can subsequently be supplemented
or superceeded.

having suggested it, i suppose i should also state that i'm willing
to pull this part out of the existing drafts to stand on its own.
