DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to the authors and the WG for their work on this document.

I have one aspect of this document that I would like to discuss. The document
is updating RFC9580, but is not specifying what is it that is it modifying in
that base OpenPGP spec. Is the introduction of new algorithms/codepoints and
the use of composite/hybrid approach for KEM and certificates an extension of
OpenPGP or is updating (as in say fixing or changing the working) of OpenPGP?
My impression (and I could be wrong) is that this is an extension to OpenPGP?

In either case, a short summary or description of what is being updated in or
done differently than what is in RFC9850 in the abstract and introduction would
help clarify for readers and address this discussion point.

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


I have just one nit to bring to your attention. I believe the correct term is
"public key" and not "public-key". This is the case even in the base RFC9850
that is being updated.
