Correct.  As a matter of fact this is a problem in a lot of payloads
within the spec.  The whole spec will be scrubbed to make all of the "ID
Type" fields unique.

Again, the values in this table no longer work in the current context.
This table should be modified as follows:

0       None       (This is the MUST implement)
1       GSAKMP LKH (This payload will contain LKH data in GSAKMP defined
                    format)
2 - 255 RESERVED

For the None case, the size of the "Rekey Event Data" field will be zero
(0) bytes long.  The purpose of a Rekey Even Payload with type None is
when it is necessary to send out a new token with no rekey information.
The Rekey Msg requires a Rekey Event PL, and in this instance it would
have rekey data of type None.
