The OSPF working group has disbanded.  So, I suspect the responsibility lands 
here.  If work on this continues, someone needs to go through all of the 
references that have been graciously posted and document the alternative way to 
do it.  Which will most likely be to use ESP with no encryption.  (that is 
allowed, now).

A less painful approach would be to declare AH “frozen”.  Frozen meaning that

o attempts to integrate it with new work are not required.
o Revising standards to fix existing problems is not a goal.

And, of course, using ESP with null encryption is the alternative.

My point was that we can't on the one hand tell people to use AH and then on 
the other hand deprecate it.  So before we do this, someone over in OSPFland 
should update RFC 5340 with better advice.  Same for any other RFCs that play a 
similar IPSEC card.
