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

Thanks to the authors, the TLS WG, the TLS WG chairs, the SEC ADs for the work
done in this document.

As we are still in the early days of post-quantum crypto and noting the
recommended=N, I think that an "experimental" status is more appropriate than
an "informational" one, hence my non-blocking ABSTAIN as I do not want to go
against the TLS WG and IETF community consensus.

Finally, one minor comment about `Note to RFC editor: References to RFC 8446
are to be updated to reference RFC 9846 (RFC 8446bis) once it is published` as
the usual method in similar cases is to use draft-ietf-tls-rfc8446bis as a
reference rather than RFC 8446.
