I beg your pardon?  It appears that you have been participating in a very 
different discussion than I have.

The one I have been participating in had some vigorous proponents for using 
the sasl mechanism in beep, rather than expending the effort to create its 
integration with sacred.

In fact I seem to recall a presentation that argued for this re-use.

Please note that if the working group takes the very strong AD guidance to 
choose a single "transport" then there is no reason at all to create sasl 
integration into the application, unless the working group chooses a 
"transport" that does not already supply that functionality.
