I remain wholly opposed to including OCB in the OpenPGP specification,

Do you prefer that we put a "2 - reserved for OCB" into the specs and
have an I-D to specify the oue of OCB in OpenPGP?  This would make the
life for implementors and auditors harder.

Yes, I would much prefer that we let OCB happen in a separate draft.
Then all the patent problems occur in a separate specification that
doesn't affect the core OpenPGP.
