   <section title="Security Considerations">

   <t>As in all distance-vector routing protocols, a Babel speaker receives
   reachability information from its neighbours, which by default is trusted.
   A number of attacks are possible if this information is not suitably
   protected, either by a lower-layer mechanism or by an extension to the
   protocol itself (e.g.&nbsp;<xref target="RFC7298"/>).</t>

   <t>Implementors and deployers must be aware of the insecure nature of the
   base protocol, and must take suitable measures to ensure that the protocol
   is deployed as securely as required by the application.</t>

I've just pushed my changes to Github.  I'll sleep over it, do some
proof-reading tomorrow, and if there are no further nits on the list, I'll
submit version -01.
