Re: Scott's CAPTCHA update - draft for discussion

Hi,

Note that I've removed the citations in the excerpt below in the
interest of readability while we discuss this.

I would suggest any comment about crowd sourcing belongs in section ...
2. Security effectiveness

I would propose inserting a sentence following the sentence which begins: 

While efforts are being made to strengthen traditional CAPTCHA security, more
robust security solutions run the risk of reducing the abilities for typical
users to understand the CATPCHA that needs to be resolved.

<ins>
Furthermore, captchas have been solved for good and ill, and the solutions
sometimes stored for reuse, through crowd sourcing.
</ins>

As such, it is highly recommended that for both security and accessibility
reasons, alternative security methods are considered in preference to the use
of a traditional image-based CAPTCHA such as two-step or multi-device
verification methods.
