[Curdle] Review of draft-kaduk-kitten-des-des-des-die-die-die-01

[Greg Hudson <[e-mail]>]

I have reviewed this draft and have no blocking objections.  Some
non-blocking, editorial notes:

Interoperability concerns are listed last for RC4, but second out of
three subsections for DES3.

Section 5.2, "Modern encryption types such as [...] use" should have a
comma before "such as" and before "use".

Section 5.2, "It is also best practice when [...], to" should have a
comma before "when".  Also, "it is also best practice" doesn't seem
right.

Section 5.3, "Because [...], this means that these application servers
also possess" should omit "this means that".  I would also remove the
parenthetical for that sentence.

Section 5.4, "cross-realm situations" should perhaps be "cross-realm
deployments".

Section 6, in "ample justification for deprecating their use", "their"
appears to refer back to "The flaws", which doesn't seem quite right.

Section 6, "blocksize" should be "block size".

Section 6.1, "[nfold] is known not to provide effective mixing of the
input bits" is not backed up by a reference.  (I don't know of a
reference.)
