I posted an initial version of proposed changes to AEAD/GCM design to address both this comment and CID 7416 as discussed yesterday. I'm planning on bringing this up in AM2 today for discussion. Please note that there are changes in the design compared to what was described yesterday, so we'll need to discuss this in the TG to see if there is consensus on the somewhat different approach.
