[MEXT] TLV header in DSMIP

[Hesham Soliman <hesham at elevatemobile.com>]

Folks,

During one of the reviews for DSMIP the issue came up regarding the  
TLV header Type field values and how the current spec doesn't describe  
how it can be used for IPsec.
After looking into this a bit I don't see why we would need IPsec for  
this. We originally defined because people wanted to use GRE so the  
format would be:
IP
UDP
GRE
IP
...etc

It seems like it would be sufficient to only define this now for GRE  
and if someone comes up with a need for using IP/IPsec directly after  
the TLV header they can define that behaviour and request a new type  
value.

So the new draft would only allocate one value for GRE.

Any objections to this ? please respond quickly, we need to finish  
this ASAP.

Thanks,
Hesham
