I think any security considerations section could include a sentence that the receiver of a message should trust it only as far as the authentication/freshness for the message carries. If the attacker can inject responses at will, the client already has a problem. The sentence at the end of section 5 already elucidates the specific form of the problem that this response code adds to that. More specifically, if a client sends a request in nosec mode, there is not really that much the server can do to reply with authentication. Grüße, Carsten
