Subject: SECDIR review of draft-sgtatham-secsh-iutf8

I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors.  Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other last call comments.

Summary: ready with some incredibly minor nits

This document adds a new opcode to ssh terminal modes, to match the iutf8 flag in the Linux terminal driver.  This draft has been implemented in openssh and putty.  There are no additional security concerns introduced by this draft beyond those already documented in RFC 4254.

The nits checker didn't like the spacing in the table in section 4.  There's an unused reference (UNICODE).  Otherwise it's clean.
