Roger,

the notion that the security document be an informational one and the
simultanous requirement to have security in all documents that go for the
standards track do not mix well. As there is a special section required
for security considerations in the standards track documents, my assumption
was that we could move most of the text in bulk, mainly deciding what goes
where between the Model and Protocol documents. We might consider moving
some of the background security stuff into the Requirements document, which
also needs some updating before we are done.
