Dear SAAG,

I am very confused by the draft vs. the rest of the conversations
we've had about it, and crypto in general. I think the draft needs to
take a sharper line to get the message across clearly that you don't
need an RFC to use a new primitive in an IETF protocol, just a
registration and should explain the reasons why a document might still
be useful/what working groups should consider doing themselves. It
also seems to imply you can do protocols that use cryptography without
thinking about cryptography, which we've learned is a mistake. The
relevance of much of the conversation about the draft to the contents
I think has been tenuous, but maybe I'm missing something important.

Sincerely,
Watson
