COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I support this document going forward.

However, in Section 4 it says:

   Consequently, an OSPFv3 packet
   transported within an IPv4 packet requires IPsec to provide
   authentication and confidentiality.  Further work such as [ipsecospf]
   would be required to support IPsec protection for OSPFv3 over IPv4
   transport.

And I had trouble understanding what you meant by this, exactly. IPsec is
required, but is not currently completely enough defined for OSPF to make
this possible? If so, I'd suggest using the words:

   Consequently, an OSPFv3 packet
   transported within an IPv4 packet requires IPsec to provide
   authentication and confidentiality.  However,  further work such as
[ipsecospf]
   would be required to support IPsec protection for OSPFv3 over IPv4
   transport.

But maybe I am misunderstanding what was meant here.
