In Section 6:
"Security issues with respect to these reports are similar to those
found in [DSN]."
The reference to DSN could be normative.
Security Considerations are never normative, so I'm not sure I agree
that this should be.
It should. Just because the Security Considerations section doesn't
usually use normative language doesn't mean that it's not normative.
People reading the document and implementing the protocol certainly
have to read and understand the Security Considerations section, along
with any transitive sections in other documents.
The reason I didn't make it normative when I drafted that section is because
this isn't a DSN, it's an ARF, thus the similar to. If people think it should
be normative, I think it's fine to change it.
