COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for preparing this well-written document. This seems like
it is could be an important document for future designs.

I would have appreciated a little more introductory text to introduce an
External PSK in section 1. The basis of such short text could already exist
in the security considerations, as per comment 1 of the security area review:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/review-ietf-tls-8773bis-09-secdir-lc-weis-2025-07-28/

If I understand, I think it could be helpful (you will know) to note that
the discussion in the Security Considerations describes requirements in
the main body and does not provide additional security-specific requirements.
