The security section is especially handwavey ... especially considering security is probably more important for smart objects while there are fewer resources available for implementing security in smart objects than elsewhere.

Here's a useful take on the security issue that might provide some guidance for additional tet in the security section: http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/ace/trac/wiki/Questions

If the IAB is not prepared to undertake recommendations on security at this time, in my opinion security should be tagged as a topic for future work in addition to the pointers to earlier work.
