Additional comments...

1.1 requirements langauge - define client, application, and connection
(I am guessing that "client" refers to an individual workstation, and
"connection" refers to each individual application attempting to access
afs? Anyway, definitions here would help

startparams ... so, is this affected by the security level set on the
client? If the client wants "encryption", should it also say it will
take "integrity" and "clear"? Or is the expectaion that the client will
only ask for "encryption" with no fallback?

As an aside, what's the feedback mechanism to the user so that the user
knows he/she is getting what he/she asks for? And can the encryption
level be downgraded upon renegotiation?

8.1 Overview - the "challenge" referenced, is that the chanllenge in the
below section(s)? "the standard RX security establishment protocol"...
to what is this referring (a section in this document or something in
another document?

10.1 - why aren't RX Abort packets protected? Where do these fit in?
Reference, please.
