The threats document does not specify how to resolve the threats.  It
identifies problems.  In this particular case, it already identifies the
problem that Ross raised.  Quite clearly.

There is no dependence on the documents Roger pointed to.  They are ways 
of remediating the threat.

Yours,
Joel
