Hi Rich,

My comment was based on the observation that the document discusses several 
aspects beyond directly modifying RFC 9325, as it also provides broader 
guidance on related topics.

For example:


  1.  Post-Quantum Cryptography (Section 3): While this is an important topic, 
its inclusion raises the question of whether the document's primary focus is 
solely updating RFC 9325 or if it also aims to serve as general guidance on TLS 
usage in a post-quantum context.


  1.  Security Considerations (Section 6): The discussion on TLS 1.2 
vulnerabilities and attack mitigations is highly relevant, but it goes beyond 
simply justifying why new protocols should default to TLS 1.3. Instead, it 
provides a broader analysis of past security issues, which may extend beyond a 
strict update to RFC 9325.

If the intent is both to update RFC 9325 and provide broader guidance, it might 
be helpful to clarify this in the introduction or abstract.

Also, have you had a chance to review the suggestions made by Med in the 
following PR? GitHub 
Link<https://github.com/richsalz/draft-use-tls13/pull/6/files>.

Looking forward to your thoughts.
Best regards,
Samier Barguil

Thanks for the review.
- The Abstract states that this document updates RFC 9325. However, in Section
5, the changes are explained, but it is unclear whether the sole intent of this
document is to introduce these updates or if it has a broader scope, as other
related topics are also discussed.
Can you give an example of something that is beyond the scope of updating 9325? 
  I believe the other related topics are rationale and justification.


- In the following paragraph, does "these efforts" refer to the efforts of this
draft specifically, or does it refer to broader cryptographic
industry/technology efforts?

"For TLS, it is important to note that the focus of these efforts is
TLS 1.3 or later, and that TLS 1.2 will not be supported (see
[TLS12FROZEN]). This is one more reason for new protocols to default
to TLS 1.3, where PQC is actively being standardized, as this gives
new applications the option to use PQC."
