draft-bjh21-ssh-transport-extension-00

[Ben Harris <bjh21%bjh21.me.uk@localhost>]

I've just uploaded an internet-draft that would allocate an SSH message 
number to be used for named message types, where the names work like all 
the other names in SSH.  This should make it easier to extend the SSH 
transport layer in ways that need new message types, as it appears might 
be necessary to produce a race-free version of zlib%openssh.com@localhost.  Named 
packet types aren't right for everything, of course, but they seem 
sensible for packets that are only likely to be sent a few times per 
connection.

What do people think of this idea?
