I reviewed this document as part of the Security Directorate's ongoing
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These
comments were written primarily for the benefit of the Security Area
Directors.  Document authors, document editors, and WG chairs should
treat these comments just like any other IETF Last Call comments.

Summary: Not Ready


Major Concerns:

Section 3.2.2 says: "Certificate based mutual authentication MUST be
supported."  I assume that this means that it MUST be supported, but
I does not have to be used.  However, the next sentence seems to
require certificates,

Section 3.2.2: With the removal of the reference to [RFC8773], how is
the requirement for certificates accomplished while also using external
PSKs?  I am unaware of any other way to do so.
   
Section 3.2.2 says: "...[RFC7250] must be used in context of [RFC8446]".
How is the requirement for certificates accomplished with raw public
keys?  I am unaware of any way to do so.


Minor Concerns:  None


Nits: None
