5.  IANA Considerations

   This document requires IANA to assign an algorithm number from  
the
   registry of OpenPGP Symmetric Key Algorithms that was created by
   [RFC2440].

Has this registry been created with RFC 2440?  I can't find it on the
IANA web site.

It has not.  The registry is created with 2440bis, but since 2440bis
hasn't been published yet it does not have a number.  I'm using 2440
as a "least incorrect" placeholder until the real number is available.


I would argue that 2440bis would be the least incorrect placeholder.

I have one suggestion that that would be for a small note on  
interoperability. Something like:

Note that while the OpenPGP cipher negotiation prevents  
interoperability problems with messages, if Camillia (or any other  
optional cipher) is used for encrypting private keys, there could be  
interoperability problems when migrating a private key from one  
system to another.

That may not be perfect, but you get the idea. Otherwise, I think the  
draft is fine.
