Thanks for the update! Hubert, can you comment on how your impl aligns with this spec change? I see the alg strings like MLKEM768-P256 in the spec, so I assume that's matching what you'retalking about here. So LGTM1 from me to ship that alg.
But what about the others you've mentioned which don't seem mentioned in the spec (eg. ChaCha20-Poly1305)? I don't think we need to block on any industry-wide agreement on which exact protocols should be supported, but I do think we need a spec somewhere describing EXACTLY what we support (eg. for any browser which aims to be compatible with Chromium).
