Thanks for sharing your inputs, Felix.

KEYTRANS Enthusiasts, We are seeing limited to no discussion so far on this
document. To assist chairs in making a decision, please provide your
feedback on the proposal - support, technical concerns, suggestions, or any
other thoughts. Brief comments are very welcome. IETF advances on rough
consensus and we need to see it (in either direction) to move forward.

Thanks, Chairs.
