additional IESG issue with transport draft: groups
Russ raised another objection:
> We need flexibility in the groups that are used. The way that section
> 7 is written, it leads me to believe that only the group included in
> section 7.1 can be used. I think we need to allow a future RFC to specify

In a private message, Russ suggested this remedy:
> -- MUST support parameters in 7.1
> -- SHOULD support parameters defined in other Standards-Track RFCs
> -- MAY support any other parameters.
However, "SHOULD support parameters defined in other Standards-Track
RFC's is a little open-ended for me..
Instead, I'd suggest adding the following text, right before section 7.1
"This document defines one group, diffie-hellman-group1-sha1. Other
groups may be defined by other specifications."
.. and toss in an informative (i.e., non-blocking) reference to
dh-group-exchange as one such example.
