Thanks for addressing my Discuss!

A few new comments on the -08:

Abstract

If we're going to differentiate between nonce and IV, I think that
the algorithms require a unique but not necessarily unpredictable *nonce*,
rather than *IV*.

Section 2

nit: s/Initialize/Initialization/

nit: s/similar mechanism/similar mechanisms/ plural

Section 7

My previous ballot was trying to note that the sender/receiver counters
MUST be reset (as noted here) even without this document, as part of
the core ESP requirements.  So we don't need to use the "MUST" here as
if it's a new requirement; we can just say that this behavior is already
present due to the preexisting requirements
