In case it’s not obvious, this is what I was proposing for a tweak:

Any specification must include a clear and thorough discussion of the privacy and security implications of using the method or methods it describes.  Methods where a mechanism that cannot be cryptographically validated for integrity or which do not provide a cryptographically validatable trust establishment mechanism will clearly describe the use case(s) in which such an override is thought to be needed, should have a clear applicability statement limiting the scope of the specification to those use case(s), and should clearly describe the risks and benefits of such a choice.
