Well a) I'm not sure whether David would be very happy if I plagiarize
his work ;) b) I don't consider myself to be enough of a crypto-guru
and/or expert in the RFC/ID writing mechanisms to do that c) without
support form the community/WG,... this has rather limited changes (IMO).

I don't know that you need my permission, but in any event by all means please 
do plagiarize it.  Frankly, you could make a Serpent draft in short order by 
simply replacing the string "Camellia" with "Serpent" and changing the 
references.  Most of the text there applies just as well to Serpent as it does 
to Camellia.

I can send you the XML source to the draft if you like - xml2rfc handles all 
the RFC formatting and boilerplate for you.
