DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for the hard work put into this  document.

Please note that I second Mirja's discuss about the 'copying' text. And, please
find below an easy-to-fix DISCUSS and some COMMENTs.

Regards,

-éric

== DISCUSS ==

-- Abstract --

For a standard track document, I find it weird to write 'conventions' rather
than specification. Easy to fix.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

== COMMENTS ==

-- Section 1 --
" At the time of writing this specification" will look strange in a couple of
years, please state 2019.

-- Section 3 --
I am not a SSH expert, but, can you add a reference to X25519 (in RFC 7748?) if
not obvious for SSH experts ?

== NITS ==

-- Section 1 --
s/This document provide Curve25519/This document provides Curve25519/
s/Curve25519 has been/Curve25519 have been/

>From now on, I am stopping to review for nits, typos and grammar errors. Please
run a spell checker.
