Hear, hear!

This is one reason why I believe in options. If someone wants to do  
SuiteB ECC but with Camellia and Whirlpool, we should not be  
restricting that at the standards level.

NIST deserves kudos in the way they did AES, and the way that SuiteB  
navigates the rocks of an effective ECC suite. But I agree with  
Werner, we are a transnational organization.
