More discussion would certainly be welcome. IPSECME is discussing what the right solution for hybrid PQC authentication is. The two proposals are composite public keys and signatures in a single certificate chain vs. two certificate chains. Both approaches have benefits and disadvantages. TLS should have the same discussion. Using two certificate chains is already possible in TLS with Post-Handshake Certificate-Based Client Authentication. Post-Handshake Certificate-Based Server Authentication should be added anyway as it is needed for long lasting TLS connections in infrastructure.

No. Please, no.

Hybrids should be part of certificates.
Once we figure out how to do hybrid in X.509, the TLS use case follows.
I'm of the opinion that IPsec is the same. We don't need anything similar
to the hybrid "anything goes" construction that's in IPsec for
the key exchange.

WebPKI might want to wait but the many infrastructure use cases of TLS, DTLS, and QUIC need to migrate very soon. US government new requirement is that pure RSASSA, ECDSA, and EdDSA are forbidden from after 2035. European countries have similar recommendations/requirements. Country to an earlier comment on the list, industry does not like new shiny tools, to the contrary, industry loves using existing stuff if possible.

but don't strongly oppose adoption
Please don’t. TLS is already seen as being behind LAMPS, IPSECME, and JOSE. Any further delay would likely end up in a lot of LSs from various infrastructure SDOs urging IETF to specify quantum-resistant authentication in TLS ;)

Cheers,
John
