IESG has asked for a ban on protocols calling themselves "Simple"  - this is no doubt as
simple as it can be, but it's not simple.   So I know that this can't be renamed - it is
recycling, but I'm just registering that it would have been nice to be able to change
the S to Straightforward instead of Simple :)

(from Spencer Dawkins, Gen-Art reviewer)

This document is basically ready for publication. It's also OK for me to say that it's a well-written document that makes sense to first-time readers.

I do have one comment.

There's a lot of text around "per-message integrity services" in this document - it's important enough to mention in the abstract - but this term wasn't precisely defined and I didn't see an obvious reference that it pointed to. It wasn't clear to me what the connection between "per-message integrity services" and MICs was - and I didn't see a reference for MICs, either. It may be that all of this is perfectly clear to security types, but I didn't "get it". A quick look at ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2743.txt made me wonder if this should be the reference, but I'm not smart enough to know what the reference should be.
