Thanks to Carl W. for the SECIDR review.

I will echo Carl's comment - the introduction has 2 very repetitive paragraphs.  That can be improved.

NITS:

120	   *  The keys generated by SFrame-internal key derivation
121	      (derive_key_salt) are longer to match the needs of AES-256-CTR and
122	      HMAC-SHA512 (96 bytes vs 48 bytes for AES-128-CTR and HMAC-
123	      SHA256).

`are longer to match` => `are no longer matched to`

Thanks for the work done. Nevertheless, some comments:

# Section 1

Who is the "we" in `We also define new entries ` ? The authors ? The IETF community ? Using "This document defines" would avoid any ambiguities.

# Appendix A

Unsure what test vectors have to do with a IANA registry ?

# Gunter Van de Velde, RTG AD, comments for draft-barnes-sframe-iana-256-05

# The line numbers used are rendered from IETF idnits tool: https://author-tools.ietf.org/api/idnits?url=https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-barnes-sframe-iana-256-05.txt

# I am not very experienced with SFRAME technology, but while reading Section 1, the first and second paragraphs in this section appear to contain mostly duplicate content. Not sure if this is intentional or the result of an accidental copy/paste. Maybe duplicate content could be merged for editorial optimization?

# This document is a short, brief well written document. A pleasure to read.

idnits reports:

  ** The abstract seems to contain references ([RFC9605]), which it
     shouldn't.  Please replace those with straight textual mentions of the
     documents in question.
