[c-nsp] OSPFv3 authentication

Am I missing something, or is OSPFv3 authentication (provided by ipsec, 
since auth was removed from the protocol) not supported in any release for 
any of cisco's switching platforms?  i.e. 3560, 4900, 6500

Depending on how you search in feature navigator (the same feature appears 
to be there under two different names):

IPv6 Security: IPv6 IPSec to Authenticate OSPFv3 
IPv6 Routing: OSPF for IPv6 (OSPFv3) Authentication Support with IPsec

you get different lists of supported platforms, but both are pretty small 
and lack any of the gear I'm interested in.  Is everyone using/moving to 
ISIS?...or just doing OSPFv3 without authentication?
