Is it OK to add dissection in accordance with Internet drafts, and not RFCs?
I've done it already serveral times, but only with 'well-established' drafts
(that are implemented and used in real life), but I was wondering what is
the general conscensus on this. I'm mostly interested in IKE(ISAKMP)/IPSec
dissection (as it used to be work related - now a hobbie). Is it being done
in other dissectors as well?

Specifically, I'd like to add IKE v2
(http://www.vpnc.org/draft-ietf-ipsec-ikev2( and ESP v3
(http://www.vpnc.org/draft-ietf-ipsec-esp-v3) dissection. Both are
preliminary and are not yet implemented (as far as I know, at least), but
will serve as a basis for future implementations (when they'll progress with
the draft process).

I'll be glad to hear other people's opinions.
