(no hat on)

Could we make a couple of tweaks to the to the IANA considerations section that:

1. The draft should probably indicate the values for the other columns.  
They’ve been assigned this way so this is more of a documentation thing:

  These DTLS-OK column value is “Y” and
  the Recommended column value is “N”.

2. Ask IANA to add something like the following as note:

  These ciphers provide only data integrity protection and no
  confidentiality protections, i.e., in other words these algorithms
  provide no privacy.  Consult the Applicability Statement in the
  reference column.

While you could argue #2 is maybe a bit over the top because the draft is 
already referenced and people really ought to read the draft/RFC before 
implementing, I think we have some experience with that not being the case.  
Also, I suspect that based on the concerns raised by Rich (and others) this 
note couldn’t really hurt.  Some will say that the IANA registries are not the 
right place for this kind of note, but I do tend to think that the more places 
we sprinkle security clue the better.


Nits:

s1: r/message../message.

s2: should be:

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.
