I think this is OK. I know that there is reason to worry about SECDIR but there is only so much you can usefully do, until they actually have something to look at. I imagine that SECDIR might be worried that direct placement could somehow open a hole whereby data might inadvertantly be transferred in the clear. For example, if I ordered a "Large pizza with direct pepperoni placement" :), the pepperoni cannot be directly placed if privcy is in effect, but this sort of thing is aprropriately dealt with in RFC8166, as it should be.
