No particular reason. Are there ones you think we should add?

As discussed a while back, we are including any and all transport security 
protocols, inside and out of the IETF. We could probably clean up the rationale 
a bit to make that necessary condition more clear.

Yes — see https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-friel-tls-over-http-00 as an

In my opinion, it makes sense to document gQUIC. The crypto core and

There is a citation, though the formatting is borked. I’ll fix this.

No.

We can certainly go into more details here. I filed 
https://github.com/mami-project/draft-pauly-transport-security/issues/23.
