Dear Alyssa,

I believe you may be putting words into my mouth.  I merely argued that
providing high-quality, secure implementations to our users and convincing
them to deploy the security mechanisms is a better way to advance than to
put an MTI requirement in the protocol specification, and politely
requested that this document be allowed to advance without an MTI
requirement.

I have reworked the security considerations to make a stronger
recommendation albeit without using normative language.  I hope this can
convince you to reopen the discussion.
