@kcoyle Would this be what you mean:

"The use of http to negotiate and transport implies that all privacy and security issues that are relevant for that protocol are also relevant for profile negotiation. E. g., information such as user agent, accept-headers, IP address etc.  can potentially be used as identifying information, and particularly, the IP address adds information about geolocation and institutional membership. Apart from that, there are no known security or privacy impacts of this feature."
