Best Current Practice, a special-case type of RFC.  Based on recent experience
with this style of collaborative document editing, I've set up a wiki at
http://blockcipher.pbwiki.com/, blank username, password 'sbox', for anyone
who wants to add their $0.02 about what to do/what not to do to protect block
ciphers from side-channel attacks.  If it works out, this could turn into a
BCP.
