Bernard,
I will start a separate thread based on response I got from you so that
we can separate out 802.16e specific details.

OK.  I was getting confused, too :)

We have recently received a liaison letter from Roger Marks, chair of
802.16, requesting review of 802.16e compatibility with RFC 3748 and the
Key Management Framework.  So that request was motivating some of my
questions.


It would appear that Sanjay's model is somewhat different from the
802.16e
model described in the liaison letter.  So yes, we should keep these
proposals separate.
