One of the advantages of a standards organization such as the IETF is 
cross-concern review. For the IETF, one very strong cross-concern is 
security. Another one (also for my personally) is internationalization. 
Another, more vague one, is general architecture. Early running code is 
very often (not always) characterized by the fact that such 
cross-concerns are actively or passively ignored.

I had a look at your draft and checked for "security" and 
"internationalization", but only found the former, and not not in a 
discussion about how this proposal would make sure that cross-concerns 
are adequately addressed.

Regards,   Martin.
