It would benefit the standards process to get some feedback from the operational community once this has happened. Whether or not we call it "experimental", we need to try out the WESP mechanism, in parallel with the heuristics method, in the wild and see what comes of them. We need not be shy about WESP's existence and benefits. I agree we ought to go on a bit of an intra-IETF "road show" and get the word to other Areas and WG's about WESP as compared to AH, and see what feedback we get. This can only help the standards process. In this context, Steve's suggestion for a an analysis document would be very helpful. Much of the arguments made in this thread would be excellently housed in said document. After some time in the wild, If we observe signs that WESP is operationally replacing AH, then we could seriously discuss deprecating AH.
