The transport draft does not have too many details.
We do not have a written proposal on the table for
SCTP support nor issue #8 extension of MOBIKE*.

However, as we are progressing with the base protocol
we now have some possibilities to discuss future things.
I think we should use this opportunity now, and if you
think some of the above issues are important, I would
recommend reserving a slot to talk about it. It may
require some preparation from you, however, such
as figuring out what the SCTP implementation situation
is or what issues are in providing additional IPsec/MOBIKE
support for SCTP.

Obviously, drafts and details are going to be needed at
some point, but what we actually wanted to talk about in
the meeting, I think, is more about the requirements more
than the bits. What do we want to achieve? Who would use
that, and would it fall within our job or somewhere else?
Details would also be useful in order to get an
understanding of what functionality X would mean in
terms of the bits, but they are not an absolute requirement.

*) I don't think #8 extension needs #20, and personally
I'd rather not see #20 changed.
