The new feature also needs documentation, will you look into that once code, and in particular the interfaces, are solid?

Definitely! What do you think the documentation should look like? Should it be near paragraph 7.2.1? Like

7.2.1.1 AES Key Wrap

That's one possibility, but I think it would also be natural to put it somewhere under or close to "7.4. Authenticated encryption and associated data", even though there's no associated data. That section could perhaps be retitled to "Authenticated encryption" to generalize it?

Or possibly under "7.3 Cipher modes", if it's too different from the AEAD constructions.
