  My $0.02 is that it's easier to do:

    Parse NS stuff
        NS1 - parse protocol-specific 1
        NS2 - parse protocol-specific 2

  The alternative is:

    Parse NS stuff
        NS1 - parse NS1-specific variant of protocol 1
        NS2 - parse NS2-specific variant of protocol 2

  I don't want to write yet another "almost RADIUS" or "almost Diameter"
encoder/decoder.  I'd like to re-use the existing code where possible.

  But the current consensus of the WG seems to be against this opinion.
 Oh well.

  Alan DeKok.
