One target audience would clearly be those who don't wallow in the
security area.  There's probably an unstated purpose of simple
advertising, and maybe to have a tool to beat others with (ISTR
someone trying to argue from absence of some definition in the
security glossary, that is, using the security glossary as an
authority).  Perhaps this document can serve as a summary
applicability statement, say.  There is a risk is that we'll all just
argue endlessly about various details, possibly leading to a bloated
document.  But it does seem like a nice idea: to have a guide to an
entire area's past output.
