Matt,
In your latest proposal you have a discussion point that asks two 
questions:
Should we make P-521 Elliptic curve mandatory as well? 
<<The answer is NO!  There are IP issues with elliptic curve and IBM will 
resist making this mandatory.>>
Should we require that the device server support 256-bit SK (Seed Keys?) 
for encryption?
<<We can support this.>>
Thanks,
