Mez's proposed text is: 5.n Other Security Challenges As stated in the charter, the mission of the Web Security Context Working Group is to specify a baseline set of security context information that should be accessible to Web users, and practices for the secure and usable presentation of this information, to enable users to come to a better understanding of the context that they are operating in when making trust decisions on the Web. While the work this group does may have a positive and beneficial effect on other security challenges on the web, directly addressing such challenges (including user authentication to web sites, single sign-on, and security models for active content on the web) are out of scope. I think it would be better to break this text up into different sections. The first part of it seems like it might be part of the introductory paragraph of the "Out of scope" section. The last part lists a series of topics that should each be a sub-section of "Out-of-scope". Just listing them, without further clarification, in an "Other" section might be inviting confusion. The "user authentication to web sites" item in particular seems tricky since we have decided parts of the login ceremony are in scope, such as how the user enters information into their user agent.
