There are two aspects to take into account here. One is designing security right into the technology's model and not bolting it on in a separate section (that might not get implemented). The other is catering to readers who might not give a rat's hind about discovery in JS but who want to do a security review of the spec. Those are the people for whom a dedicate security section can be useful. I think it can be a short affair, perhaps a couple paragraphs stating that security blah can be found in sections foo.
