nation state crypto profiles - draft-jenkins-cnsa-cmc-profile-00

I just noticed this draft:

Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) Suite Profile of Certificate Management over CMS

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-jenkins-cnsa-cmc-profile-00

We had a discussion in the past where it seems a bunch of people thought
that publushing RFC's with specific nation states profiles was no longer
deemed neccessary or wise. It looks like this publication should be a
FIPS document, not an RFC.

This was for instance, discussed here:

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/Gfo9si95rem3UtzGlEn9-AK22ro

Some of the text is also very wrong, such as:

   NSA is publishing a set of RFCs, including this one, to provide
   updated guidance concerning the use of certain commonly available
   commercial algorithms in IETF protocols.

The IETF publishes RFCs, not the NSA. It is another sign that this is
the wrong venue for publishing what they want to publish.
