Hi Dave et al.,

Sorry for the late reply.

> I'm fine with (EC)DHE_PSK, but I thought the consensus was that non-ephemeral cipher suites were not permitted any longer. I thought usage of plain PSK would be against TLS 1.3 & HTTP/2 consensus. If it really is needed, I think they should be prohibited in general TLS and only allowed via the IoT application profile.

As the draft currently is written it also applies to TLS 1.2. I have no
problem with removing non-ephemeral ciphersuites from the document,
given that there's agreement among embedded implementers.

So far no further comments on the ensuing discussion, your ideas are all
very interesting and -- I think -- are well worth exploring.
