Introduction already contains the following text:

   If the preshared key has
   sufficient entropy and the PRF, encryption and authentication
   transforms are quantum-secure, then the resulting system is believed
   to be quantum resistant, that is, invulnerable to an attacker with a
   quantum computer.

We think that it is out of scope of this document to classify existing
algorithms on the ground of whether they are quantum secure or not,
the Security Considerations section lists only most obvious cases.

OK.

Added.

Thank you,
