Is what you're looking for multiple DS for the same selectors, or just a single 
DS for each set of selectors, that is determined by the AC?

This is exactly I need. The UE tells the network element what is the desired 
Qos that UE is willing to use for an SA and Network in turn replies to UE what 
Qos can really be used. (because finally it is the network which decides what 
characteristics the traffic can hold).

So as I understand currently Qos cannot be indicated through IKE messages and 
it has to be done through some application level protocols.

But since the Qos based traffic is gaining more importance these days, it would 
be better if we can accommodate Qos as one of the parameter in IKE negotiation 
messages.

Thanks,
Paul

Like I said, Paul can submit an I-D.

But if the UE applies the diffserv to the clear packet, 4301 says that these 
attributes are copied to the ESP packet. There has to be some handshake at the 
application layer to pass this information, no?  And you really need to do this 
for the clear packet anyways, because it needs to be handled with QoS at the 
provider network too. If you do it in the app layer, it doesn't require any 
modifications to IKE.
