However, Tim and Pasi have asked SecDir reviewers to comment on all aspects of a draft we are reviewing, not just the security aspects. I did not, for example, comment on the grammar issues that I strongly suspect will be fixed by the RFC Editor. However, if I were an IESG member reading the document for the first time, I would immediately ask why the abstract says "do not deploy implementations of this draft" for something that is meant to be an Experimental RFC.
