Thanks for writing the document.  My comments:

1) As you know, Camellia is patented by your organization, and you need
to file a patent disclosure to the IETF.  The earlier disclosures
related to Camellia are not relevant: they don't permit use for Secure
Shell.

2) It is not possible to implement your document without also reading
RFC 5646, thus I believe that document has to be a normative reference.
Alternatively, you could duplicate the necessary text.
