Right.  It should be clear that many of these extensions are "optional"
from the point of view of GSS-API v2 implementors.

It should also be clear that, while in some cases we seek to make the
use of mechanism-specific or platform-specific extensions more feasible
(particularly in a mechglue environment) we mostly seek to do generic
exntension work (plus mechanisms, like CCM).

I believe most of your list can be summarized in a paragraph or two.

Add to the list of work items to consider:

 - Guidelines for GSS-API mechanism designers

 - Guidelines for GSS-API application protocol designers
