If we’re talking about CNSA, well CNSA 2.0 insists on ML-KEM-1024 (and would 
prefer that alone) – I had been assuming that could be better handled by the 
ML-KEM-only draft…

Yes, I am not sure about the statement that P-256 is required. The requirement 
for FIPS in the next few years should be one of the NIST P-curves. I think 
P-384 is the most required of the NIST P-curves.

Yes, that is completely unreasonable. TLS is MUCH larger than the Web. There 
will clearly be registrations for combinations of most current curves 
(P-curves, X-curves, Brainpool, SM, GOST) with most PQC KEMs (ML-KEM, BIKE/HQC, 
Classic McEliece, FrodoKEM, future Isogeny? (Isogenies was the hottest topic at 
Eurocrypt this year) ). European countries say that hybrids will be a must for 
a long-time.

Cheers,
John

CNSA<https://media.defense.gov/2022/Sep/07/2003071834/-1/-1/0/CSA_CNSA_2.0_ALGORITHMS_.PDF>
 requires P384, so we’ll also need a hybrid that includes this EC.

Cheers,

Yep, the entirely obvious answer here is we'll end up defining at least
x25519+PQ and p256+PQ. Arguing for one but not the other (in the TLS
WG) seems pretty pointless to me. (That said, the measurements offered
are as always interesting, so the discussion is less pointless than
the argument:-)

Yes, this seems correct to me.
