First, I want to give a hearty thanks the authors of the workshop
report for this write-up. It's well done and covers a ton of ground.

A couple of comments:

* on p. 13 (Section 5.6) it says, "Traffic analysis is a research
discipline that produces sometimes surprising findings, which are
little known among protocol developers." I can't tell if this the the
authors trying to be funny or if this is serious. If it's serious, I'm
wondering if there are ways to increase knowledge at IETF of traffic
analytical threats? Like fingerprinting, it's very hard to protect
against but certainly something that all things being equal protocols
shouldn't make worse.

* a bit farther, I wasn't sure how to fix this, which doesn't make
grammatical sense to me: "However, it is not so easy to use these
techniques well, and not actually make messages easier to recognise
rather than harder." Does padding make messages easier to recognize
than harder?

best wishes and thank you, Joe
