Not entirely. I'm inferring from the following text that this draft is
supposed to have somewhat better security than typical NFS, but it's
not really clear.


   If the configuration of the storage device is such that clients can
   access the directory namespace, then the access control degrades to
   that of a typical NFS server with exports with a security flavor of
   AUTH_SYS.
