Some comments:

1) BGP Security Concerns

        The primary security concern that needs to be addressed is the
incentive to hijack legitimate IP address blocks via BGP spoofing.


Is this the same IP spoofing issue being addressed in the end of this message:

http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/working-groups/asrg/current/msg08549.html

2) DNS Security Concerns

        The DNS statement is incorrect. The DNS does have security, it just
is not very good and it is not cryptographically based.


Doesn't this cover this:

"2.3.2 Increased incentive for DNS cracks

   LMAP will also have the effect of increasing the incentives
   for spammers to crack and subvert DNS servers (in order to
   spoof receivers doing LMAP checks against the DNS database).
