I would prefer to keep single quotes for values referring to single

double quotes but using single quotes as in C seems better.
I agree with this. It would be better.
I'm not sure how to address this request without doing some heavy
lifting in the toolchain, espcially since it looks like you want the
tooling to behave differently for characters in the two different
places.
If the single quotes are part of the regular text, wouldn't it just work?
However, it looks like this is actually a bug in xml2rfc, which wants to
put two spaces between a period and the next sentence.
Which in itself is pretty archaic and shouldn't be done by default :)
(Althouh the unit fmt command also still defaults to this)
crypto-refresh-01/02 nitpicks
=====
At 1. Introduction, change "RFC 5581 (Camellia cipher)" to "RFC 5581
(The Camellia Cipher in OpenPGP)" or "RFC 5581 (Camellia Cipher in
OpenPGP)", since just "Camellia cipher" could be confused with the
description itself of Camellia (rfc3713).
"ECC for OpenPGP" should perhaps be changed to "ECC in OpenPGP" which is the
preposition used in that rfc title.
Full name of RFC 6637 is "Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) in OpenPGP" and
would be the proper one if we wanted to use the complete names of the rfc,
albeit I don't think that would matter either way.
These aren't the full RFC names (4880 itself is not "OpenPGP"), they're
shorthand labels, but i agree that they should be normalized to be more
readable. I submitted the editorial suggestion
https://gitlab.com/openpgp-wg/rfc4880bis/-/merge_requests/36 to make
them "Camellia in OpenPGP" and "Elliptic Curves in OpenPGP".
Seems reasonable. If no one objects over the next few days we will merge
it in.
I'm not too keen on the way this section is introduced. I may provide a MR if
I can come up with something.
Please do propose an MR.
Indeed, please do.
Thanks for the review, and thanks to dkg for filing the issues raised to
discuss later in the WG.
