With apologies to the author/shepherd, I forgot about this one;-(

I'm going to start IETF last call now. My own comments below can
be handled with any other last call comments.

Cheers,
S.


- intro: Maybe take a look at the intro to RFC7539. I think
it does a good job of presenting the background (for a
similar DJB production:-) so it might be worth seeing if
there's anything you want to copy from that.

- intro, para 1: some more references (or one ref to a
survey paper) would be good

- intro, para 2: "as Bernstein pointed out" requires a
reference

- section 13: whassup with that? why isn't the usual IETF
boilerplate ok?

- section 16: saying the reader "must" follow crypto
research is silly as you cannot ensure readers will do that
(and you know they won't:-). I think you mean that if you
don't keep up to date then you might miss out when issues
are found with this algorithm. If so, saying so would be
better.

- 17: I'm not sure the RFC editor will like references that
only point to http://cr.yp.to/ or tarsnap.com. If you have
better citations in addition that'd be good.
