Reviewer: Joe Clarke
Review result: Ready

I have been assigned to review this document as part of the ops directorate. 
This document describes conventions for using the HSS/LMS with CMS.  Overall,
this document is well-written, and I appreciate the considerations around
signing size and computation in the introduction.  This will help operators
properly evaluate the use of this algorithm.  I did find a few small nits.  One
thing that struck me on the first read is that you have to get to the
Introduction before HSS/LMS are expanded whereas CMS is expanded in the
abstract.  Might I suggest you expand HSS and LMS in the abstract as well?

Other nits:
