That's a good idea.  Because I'm fairly sure that I disagree.

This work might form the basis of experiments.  If the competition result is known, we might instead want to start the process of defining key exchange with a single algorithm rather than concern ourselves with compositions.  Having the document in place so that we can define experiments with a degree of surety with respect to their risks is best.

In any case, we should adopt this work.
