Omitting it completely is also allowed (section 3.3.3):

   A proposal MAY omit the optional types if the only value for them it will
accept is
   NONE.

Look also at section 2.7

   If an initiator proposes both normal ciphers with integrity
   protection as well as combined-mode ciphers, then two proposals are
   needed.  One of the proposals includes the normal ciphers with the
   integrity algoritms for them, and the other proposal includes all the
   combined mode ciphers without the integrity algorithms (because
   combined mode ciphers are not allowed to have any integrity algorithm
   other than "none").

...ant at section 3.3:

   Combined-mode ciphers include both
   integrity and encryption in a single encryption algorithm, and MUST
   either offer no integrity algorithm or a single integrity algorithm
   of "none", with no integrity algorithm being the RECOMMENDED method.


Probably both cases (NONE and omitting) could be included in the diagram.

Valery Smyslov.
