I believe this document should be published as Informational,
not as Proposed Standard, because it is only interesting to
a specific community and not a generally useful set of cipher suites.

Other RFCs describing TLS cipher suites that were published as
informational:

5289 TLS Elliptic Curve Cipher Suites with SHA-256/384 and AES Galois
     Counter Mode (GCM). E. Rescorla. August 2008. (Format: TXT=12195
     bytes) (Status: INFORMATIONAL)

5489 ECDHE_PSK Cipher Suites for Transport Layer Security (TLS). M.
     Badra, I. Hajjeh. March 2009. (Format: TXT=14194 bytes) (Status:
     INFORMATIONAL)

6209 Addition of the ARIA Cipher Suites to Transport Layer Security
     (TLS). W. Kim, J. Lee, J. Park, D. Kwon. April 2011. (Format:
     TXT=19501 bytes) (Status: INFORMATIONAL)

6367 Addition of the Camellia Cipher Suites to Transport Layer
     Security (TLS). S. Kanno, M. Kanda. September 2011. (Format:
     TXT=17613 bytes) (Status: INFORMATIONAL)


(btw. I believe that rfc5932 would have been perfectly sufficient
 as informational, in spite of replacing rfc4132.  And I'm confused
 why both 5932 and 4132 contain the list of ciphersuites TWICE
 (and nothing much else).
