Hi Dan, About my first comment what I meant that section 6 say " For the purposes of interoperability, a password pre-processing technique of "None" MUST be supported.". I now understand that in section 8.5 and 8.6 you say that the initiator may decide not to use the "none" technique and therefore may not find an interoperable mode. If the initiator will use "none" technique than you will have interoperability.
