Request for feedback on TCP security (IETF effort)

[Li, Qing]

I have been monitoring the tcpm ML debate about this draft for
the past year. Frankly for the past two months the volume of
tinygrams on the subject is so overwhelming I stopped reading
any email relating to this topic. 

I think Mark Allman's email titled "TCPM" posted on March 2
put things into perspective nicely.

I am rather surprised to see that thread posted here ...
