I believe that the issue of keywrap is within the scope of the RADEXT WG
charter, so that discussing it on the RADEXT WG mailing list is
appropriate.

I agree that we should not wait to move forward, but past history shows
that getting IESG input early on is likely to avoid a lot of pain down the
road.
The original RADIUS WG was not permitted to work on RADIUS keywrap
attributes, and that is why the VSAs documented in RFC 2548 needed to be
developed.
Prior to the approval of RFC 4004 (Diameter MIP) and RFC 4072 (Diameter
EAP), the IETF had not published any AAA key management documents
developed by an IETF WG as RFCs; both of these documents took more than 5
years to go from an initial submission to publication as RFCs.
In order to avoid the problems that have been experienced in the past,
it would be nice to know that what criteria are believed to apply to the
work beforehand, so that we don't go through a lot of effort only to find
out that the document is unacceptable to the IESG, requiring years of
rework.
My understanding is that all AAA key management documents submitted for
publication as RFCs need to meet the criteria established in:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-housley-aaa-key-mgmt-00.txt
However, given that RADIUS is a mature, widely deployed protocol, there
are practical limits on the scale of changes that can be made in order to
meet these criteria.
