Hi Joe,

Thank you for your TSVART review!  :)

Regarding if QUIC is already a valid transport, it is the WG's understanding 
that QUIC is already a valid transport for RESTCONF.   From reading [1] very 
carefully (with a "no lies detected" lens) and looking at [2] (which 
normatively binds TLS1.3), it does not seem that an RFC needs to be published 
to explicitly allow RESTCONF to be used over QUIC.  Do you agree?  FWIW, This 
was discussed briefly during the IETF 122 with no objections, see the "NETCONF 
over QUIC" section in the Minutes [3].

But this thread touches on a larger edit being made by the bis.  Note that the 
previous version of this paragraph [4] referenced specific transport-binding 
documents (e.g., RFC 6242).  It was decided that such specific references don't 
age well and, more generally, are distracting from the primary focus/point of 
the sentence, which is that all YANG-based management protocols require 
transports that are both encrypted and have mutual authentication.  This sets 
the stage for the rest of the text in the template.  All this to say, even if 
there were an easy reference to where RESTCONF uses QUIC, the nature of this 
larger edit would not include it.  This is why the current text doesn't include 
such a reference.

Separately, your TSVART review has text "RESTCONF is exclusively defined over 
HTTP, TCP, and TLS (RFC8200)".  RFC 8200 is "Internet Protocol, Version 6 
(IPv6) Specification".  Did you mean something else?
