I may be being overly picky, but: KINK isn't finalized.  KINK would 
presumably be the name of the final version of the protocol.  So it 
wouldn't be correct to say that it supports KINK, but instead you 
should indicate that it supports a specific draft.  And I expect that 
the final version will not be 100% compatible with the current draft 
(if only in the handling of some of the crypto aspects I've complained 
about), so it would make sense to advise users of that fact as well, 
and plan for either an incompatible change down the road, or support 
for both draft and final versions in some future release.

That said, I think it's great that you're doing this.  Thank you!
