Hi, all.
Let's resume discussion of making our draft.

>>#42 [-] Wording
>>(waiting a revision)

>>	Section 4.3, discussing attributes, mixes singular and plural
>>	indications.

If Ken indicated the following sentence;

   The initiator MUST check to see if the optimistic payload was selected by
   comparing all transforms and attributes which MUST be identical from
   the initiator's optimistic proposal with the lone exception of
   LIFE_KILOBYTES and LIFE_SECONDS.

then I think that the original text in the section 4.3 is nearly correct.
because a single proposal can contain multiple transforms, for example,
using both ESP and AH.  and regardless of that, a transform can contain
multiple attributes.

>>	too. :-)  (Ken Raeburn)

kink payloads can logically chain infinitely.  so i guess the author
used the word.  i propose that the section 7.3 should be placed before
the section 4.3.  we can reduce using the word because the seciton 7.3
explains the kink packet structure.
