I don't believe finding a "framework for evaluating snoop-resistance
in IETF specifications" describes the goal. That would be very very
difficult. Providing background for such an effort? Sure, but again I
don't think that's a primary goal. We want to establish guidelines for
WGs in doing security considerations ... but IMHO specific statements
of guidelines are beyond the scope of this draft. I believe this draft
is just establishing a fundamental principle on which to take the next
steps. Maybe it should just be informational because there's very
little actual practice in it?
