Summary: A well written document that is difficult to check and easy to make a
mistake with. There are a tiny number of editorial matters. The matter of the
semantics of Recommended = no may need to further thought and clarification.

Major issues: None

cannot find any formal guidance.

======

  If an item is marked as not recommended it does not necessarily mean
SB> Do you mean "marked as not recommended" or "not marked as recommended".

=======
SB>  I am worried about the semantics of Recommended = no.
SB> Presumably there are three states: recommended, not recommended,

SB> states does Recommended = no represent?

Nits/editorial comments:

   This document describes a number of changes to (D)TLS IANA registries

SB> TLS is not a well known abbreviation and so needs expanding

========

   This document instructs IANA to make changes to a number of (D)TLS-

SB> TLS needs expanding
