I might be stating the obvious here, but:

3552 Guidelines for Writing RFC Text on Security Considerations. E.
     Rescorla, B. Korver. July 2003. (Format: TXT=110393 bytes) (Also
     BCP0072) (Status: BEST CURRENT PRACTICE)

(Clearly, a large part of that doesn't apply here, but that exactly may be the most important input from that document.)
