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

I think this document should formally update RFC 7296. Was that discussed in
the WG?

I think the citation for [NISTPQCFP] should link to the actual call for
proposals.

Section 6:

"In addition, the policy SHOULD be set to negotiate only quantum-
   resistant symmetric algorithms; while this RFC doesn't claim to give
   advice as to what algorithms are secure (as that may change based on
   future cryptographical results), below is a list of defined IKEv2 and
   IPsec algorithms that should not be used, as they are known to
   provide less than 128 bits of post-quantum security"

This paragraph mixes normative SHOULD with non-normative "should not" in the
same paragraph. I was wondering if that is intentional.
