I don't know about the IETF meeting discussion of it, but the ARR (etc.)
is Yet Another Subpacket Type, and therefore has a known size and 
can be skipped over if it's not implemented.  So if we don't document it
and don't talk about it, everything works, or if we document the
subpacket type number as "Reserved For Evil Eavesdroppers",
everything still works.

				Thanks!
