Generic Hybrid Ciphers comments

Comments on latest Generic Hybrid Ciphers editors draft

Substantive:

(1) The document shortname is "xmlsec-generic-hybrid" and the  
namespace is "http://www.w3.org/2009/xmlsec-gh#"

Should the shortname match the namespace  (e.g. "xmlsec-generic- 
hybrid" vs "xmlsec-gh") ?

(2) Should the namespace include 2009 or 2010 as the year

(3) Do we need a note regarding the status of ECIES-KEM, currently  
mandatory, given the unclear ECC IPR status?
