> Why can't IPSec & MIP transforms be bundled on the same policy?
At the first year of netconf, Yoshifuji went into detail
as to why the IPSEC and MIP transformations had to live
seperately.
It's partly a side effect of different userland daemons controlling
IPSEC vs. MIP configuration.

We can consider an approach like this as a future refinement.
It would allow arbitrary nesting of sub-transforms, for sure,
just like netfilter's NF_REPEAT.
