   [1] Yes.
   [2] I don't care about the status, just get it published.

Rationale for [1] -
   - Stanford IPR is royalty-free
   - SPEKE IPR is non-relevant
   - Dunno about Lucent EKE - AFAICT, their lawyers avoid making 
definite statements on principle (sigh).  But in the 9-year history of 
SRP they've never bothered anyone about it.  Also, the patent expires in 
3 years, so it will be a moot point soon enough.
