The IPsec WG, like most others, refined its documents based on feedback from list members. Most of these list members represented VPN vendors, but there were also host vendors represented. However, there were no OSPF folks involved, nor BGP folks (other than my interest in using IPsec to protect BGP). So it is not surprising that details related to other applications were not as well represented.
