Summary:

This is a clear and well-written document that defines three hybrid KEMs for 
use in SSH, which use the ML-KEM algorithm. The protocol mechanics are 
described in detail. The document is concise yet very informative.  This 
reviewer found it an enjoyable read; thank you, editors. There are no issues 
from a Gen-ART perspective, and it is ready (with nits; see below).

Major issues: none

Minor issues: none

Nits/editorial comments:

* s/cause a packet to exceed/causes a packet to exceed/
* s/depends on the availability/depend on the availability/
* s/each individual/each/
* s/C_PK1, S_PK1, C_PK2, S_CT2/C_PK1, S_PK1, C_PK2 and S_CT2/
* s/to the client public key/to the client's public key/
* ยง6 at the end of the second paragraph, perhaps add the usual reference to 
RFC4086; e.g.: "See also {{?RFC4086}} for guidance in this area."

Note: There are a few missing commas here and there. I am not sure what 
conventions the RPC uses, so I will refrain from adding noise.
