I did propose using XChaCha (similar to XSalsa20) to support larger
nonces (especially the AEAD recommended 96-bit length), and sticking
with plain ChaCha for 64-bit nonces (and allowing them):

There should have been a CFRG meeting yesterday, and perhaps it was
discussed, but I didn't get any feedback on it yet.
If anyone (Nikos?) can report on that I'd be glad to hear about it :)

Stefan
