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

This is easier than usual to read for this sort of draft :-) 

-- Section 1, 1st paragraph:
I concur with Stephen's comment. Furthermore, this entire paragraph
pretty much reads like advertising copy. Can it be toned down a bit?

-- 8.1 (Normative References)

The reference to [RFC7539]  is a normative downref. I don't see it on the
downref registry, nor was it mentioned in the last call notice. (For the
record, I think it's a reasonable downref.)
