Hi Luigi,

Just on this bit, the rest is fine...

There is a tendency for folks who read documents like this
that set out N kinds of attack(er) to never consider that
there may be an N+1th kind of attack(er). It's that that
I'm suggesting we make clear.

So I'd go more for:

"
In this document we have classified attackers according to
their modes of operation, i.e., the temporal and spacial
diversity of the attacker. These modes are not mutually
exclusive, they can be used by attackers in any combination,
and other modes may be discovered in the future. And of
course attackers are not at all bound by our classification
scheme, so implementers and those deploying will always need
to do additional risk analysis for themselves.
"

But again, that's just a suggestion, feel free to take it
or leave it.

Cheers,
S.
