[TLS] Further development of GSS-TLS

[Stefan Santesson <stefans at microsoft.com>]

Coming back on the issue of GSS-TLS related to the proposed draft http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-santesson-tls-gssapi-01.txt

I have not been active on this discussion largely because of the great amount of feedback I have received.
It was obvious to me after last IETF that we had more or less a deadlock on this draft.

Several of the proposals of this draft seems to be totally unacceptable to some members of this list.
On the other hand, none of the alternative proposals provide the functionality that we set out to solve.

This discussion has therefore triggered a period of reconsideration. Before I go any further to take on the hard task to try to get wide acceptance I need to be sure that the proposed draft represent the absolute preferred solution to the problem. Today I'm not sure. At least not to the degree where I'm ready to push for any specific solution.

Until that time comes, if it comes, I will simply take a step back and let the current draft expire.
I will be happy to participate in any discussion, but I will not at this moment try to push for any specific solution to this complex problem.
