Subject: [secdir] Secdir review of draft-ietf-tls-des-idea-02.txt

I am reviewing this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors.  Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments. Feel free to forward to any appropriate forum.

This document is a pro forma document written so that obsolete cryptographic suites could be removed from the new TLS 1.2 RFC (RFC 5246) while remaining defined in the IANA registry for interoperability with existing systems. It is proposed as informational, but might be eligible for a new category of RFC: WCP (Worst Current Practice). All of the specified algorithms are listed as SHOULD NOT be implemented.

I couldn't think of any improvements to suggest, even in a lame attempt at humor.
