I propose to add such a section claiming that "[this] document has no
IANA considerations."

This will be done.

I propose the following:

2.  Introduction

   This document specifies the Kerberos V GSS-API mechanism's pseudo-
   random funtion corresponding to [GSS-PRF].  The function is a "PRF+"
   style construction.

Alternatively I could rename the section currently named "Kerberos V GSS
Mechanism PRF" to "Introduction" :)

IANA considerations."

This will be done.

I have sent Seema and Juan Carlos proposed text, which I include here
(ignoring the PRF_READY thread):

Sam pointed out, indirectly, that no such key usage is needed.  I
proposed the removal of the text "and key usage X (TBD)" from the the
end of the first paragraph of section 2 of draft-ietf-kitten-krb5-
gssapi-prf.

Thanks.

I will make a proposal on the PRF_READY issue in a separate post.

Cheers,

Nico
