It's a secdir review.  It plays no official part in the publication
process.  It is merely a review meant to aid the IESG.

The secdir review may simply have been too late.  But it's still worth
responding to, which I have.

I took up this sub-thread because I'm familiar enough with the subject
so I can, and because I think Phillip and Watson deserve getting answers
on this even if there's no procedural need to provide them.

So are non-NFSv4 WG participants in this thread.  It's not every day you
get a free analysis of your protocol by folks like Watson.  Rejoice.
