Summary: This document is ready for publication as an Informational RFC.

Major issues: N/A.  (I am aware that there is much dispute about whether this
algorithm is a good idea.  I am not competent to comment on that aspect, and
therefore ignore it for purposes of this review.)

Minor issues: The security considerations section seems remarkably light.  It
may be correct.

Nits/editorial comments: N/A
