Thanks to Valery for writing this draft, apologies for the delay.  I was
hoping to beat the I-D submission cutoff, but I didn't make it.

I did spend some time mapping out the differences in how the key
development works in all three versions:  RFC 7296, RFC8784 and this
draft.  They are related, but different in all three places.  I think I see
why it is done the way it is, including a way to rekey the SA without
tearing down the whole connection.  [I'm happy take comments from those
whose crypt background is less rusty than my own.]

Specific comments:  We might need to work on these a bit.  Most are
readability comments.

Abstract, para 2:  Remove the word 'Besides,'.  Last sentence, change to,
'This specification defines a way to use PPKs in active IVKv2 SAs for
creating additional IPsec SAs and rekey operations.  (I'm not sure how much
this helps, it is pretty awkward.)

Introduction, para 1, sentence 2, 4, last phrase: add/change some text to
make it flow better, 'An extension...', 'post-quantum security is defined',
'IPsec traffic that mostly needs protecting, (albeit it wouldn't provide
protection of the identity of the peers).

Introduction, para 3, QKD sentence:  'for example via the use of Quantum
Key Distribution (QKD).

Section 3.1.1, para 2, first sentence:  I don't understand this sentence,
'computed differently compared to use PPKs'... maybe 'computed differently
to how PPKs are used in IKE_AUTH', but I'm not sure.

Section 3.2, para 1:  'peers MAY use this PPK' to 'peers MAY use this fresh
PPK'.

Section 3.2, Figure 2:  What is 'Nir'?  Maybe a typo for 'Nr'?  Or
something else.

Appendix A, last paragraph:  'PPK stuff', maybe 'PPK messages'?

General:  There are a handful of pointers back to the g-ikev2 draft.  Just
be sure that the naming that was changed late in the process has made it
into this draft.  For example, GSA_AUTH - I don't remember if that was new,
old, or unchanged.
