David,
 
I notice you're just mentioning Camellia with a 256-bit key, which
leaves out the 128 or 192-bit keys.  I don't disagree, but I'm
curious if that was intentional.

Yes, intentional. I chose Camellia-256 by the point of view of
marketing.

I found that may people had selected TLS/AES-256 ciphersuite for their
https when they could use it under their system.

AES-256 is listed in a NIST recommendation.  It's not marketing,
it's following NIST guidance.

Not to say that's not debatable but it's not just "marketing" or
key material size obsession.
