>This document describes the usage of Advanced Encryption Standard

Based on Pasi's AD review, the authors significantly shortened the document. It seems prudent to have the WG review the new, shorter version. In particular, it would be good for developers to look at the new short document and see if it is complete enough to implement from.

This review cycle will end in a week, but please do the review early in case problems are found.
