Joseph -

Thanx for the review.

The introduction defines the purposes(sic) of the extensions . Please reread that and let me know if you still have concerns.

The extensions are not for security purposes - as a matter of principle I am concerned if a new requirement of every draft is to explicitly state all the things that it is not intended to do. :-)
