----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Michael and Orie,

Thanks for the effort put into this specification.

Thanks also to Tiru Tirumaleswar Reddy for the OPSDIR review and to the authors
for engaging and proposing changes. I went through
https://github.com/cose-wg/draft-ietf-cose-dilithium/pull/25/files and trust
this PR will be merged. The explanation about the seed only design choice and
also calling out some ML-DSA deployment challenges are appreciated.

Agreed, I should have merged this sooner, it is merged now.


I also trust the examples were validated.

They are generated here: 
https://github.com/cose-wg/draft-ietf-cose-dilithium/tree/main/examples
I'm still fearful I've made mistakes in these, so for anyone reading this, if 
you want to ❌✅ cross check me, its very much appreciated.

I have very minor comments:

# Redundant IANA considerations

Not sure why IANA requests are repeated twice in the document (Sections 3/4/5
and then IANA Section). I think it is better to have this in one single place.

Done.


# Who is the target of this guidance?

CURRENT:
   When registering new algorithms, use of multiple key type parameters
   for private information is NOT RECOMMENDED.

This guidance is directed towards specification authors who are using this key 
type with new algorithms (for example SPHINCS Plus / Falcon)... but really it's 
towards anyone considering making a private key format, optionality is 
dangerous there.
I did add some text to try to make this clearer.


# Citations

Several RFCs are provided in the text but are not cited as references, e.g.,
RFC 9054 and RFC 7518. Please check through the doc.

Thank you, I think I have addressed these.


# Regional Matters

Please s/FIPS 204/US FIPS 204 in the abstract and s/NIST/US NIST in Section 4

Done.


Cheers,
Med
