Is it the name of the protocol that's the issue 'des-cbc' vs
'des-cbc@somthing',  or that you want this in the base docs?

I'd have thougth an Informational RFC (wg owned or not - I'm not bothered)
would have been sufficient.

Hmm - Is one of them by any chance Cisco routers when using a 'export'
version of crypto code?  i.e. DES instead of 3DES.
