Thanks for the information, Simone. Unfortunately, it doesn't answer
my question concretely. I'm not looking for a "you can do this, or you
can do that" sort of response. I want to know what the review criteria
are for new specifications going through the W3C Process.

Is there an option to drop the Privacy and Security Considerations
sections in lieu of a Threat Model?
