I'm curious what the specific problem with SEND is. Is it the lack of commonly 
available implementations, or the manual work to bootstrap it (IIRC that is 
required), or both? The IETF obviously can't solve the former. If it is the 
latter, I wonder if the "Better-Than-Nothing" model, used for IPsec in RFC5386, 
could be applied to SEND?

Mark.
