I forgot to mention that per IETF rules the AutoKEY brief is also filed 
as Informational Only (per the current filing) and as such cannot 
possibly replace a standards-track document like RFC1305 (whether its 
better technology or not).

So we need to resolve this with a new NTP Standards Practice 
work-product which includes the v4 additions and the autokey security 
additions and the RFC needs to be re-set as "not Obsoleted" until the 
actual replacement work is published.
