I re-reviewed this documentas part of the security directorate's ongoing 
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.

I compared the -08 and -09 version of this document, using the IETF diff 
tool.

The authors responded to my concern that there were many instances of 
what appeared to be normative text in Sections 3 and 4, yet almost all 
instances of the words "must" and "should" were lowercase. They removed 
all of the words in question. I'm surprised by this outcome, but if the 
WG chairs and ADs believe the resulting text is correct, with NO 
normative terms, so be it.

The authors also revised the Security Considerations (Section 7) text, 
addressing all of my comments.
