It would however be a nuisance if it was "rushed in"

Perhaps 'rush in' an ID (or a couple of IDs, as per Vlad Miller's mail) with
reference to it being the sole legally useful algorithm for some
applications in russia, with all details to be ironed out in another
document?
I'm taking a wait and see attitude with regards to GOST itself, but I
am against sticking in an ID without details. Whether in 2440bis or
in another document, we should either do GOST or not do GOST. The
halfway thing doesn't really help anyone.
A few months back we actually removed some 'IDs without details' from
the draft.
