Subject: [Gen-art] Review of draft-harkins-owe-05

Reviewer: Lucy Yong
Review result: Ready with Nits

The draft is nearly ready for the publication.
 
Minor comment: Suggest adding this in security considerations: OWE
provides encryption over the wireless medium, i.e., Wi-Fi without
authentication. Thus it does not provide security for end-to-end
traffic.  users should still use application level security such as
VPN for end-to-end security. In this case, use of OWE prevents VPN
authentication info. to be spoofed in open public Wi-Fi.
one question: Will a user notices if OWE is used or not?  This may be
important for some users. 

nit: r/encryption of the wireless medium/encryption over the wireless
medium/
