This document is meeting a real need by fleshing out an extension point for ALTO that was previously over-constrained and not actually usable for extensions. The security considerations section currently just defers to the core ALTO procotol spec, RFC 7285. This seems appropriate, as this document is just opening up the extension point, but we might also consider providing specific encouragement for authors of new cost modes to document considerations unique to that cost mode. Hopefully such documents would already provide comprehensive security considerations, though, so it does not seem strictly needed for us to say anything here. -Ben _______________________________________________ alto mailing list alto@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/alto
