[Les:] We did think about security. The draft makes no changes to the protocol - it adds no new advertisements nor modifies any existing advertisement. It merely clarifies route preference rules for the existing route types that already exist. So "None" accurately captures the security issues associated with this draft.  Do we actually have to say that? 

The important thing about a security section to me is that it correctly identifies the areas of concern. In this case since there are none it seems to me we have met the requirements admirably. :-)
