Good point. Do you think it's possible to enumerate the cases where security and privacy could potentially be compromised by changes in the speech app UI? So far it seems that the user must know about recording and the user must know about the domain which is trying to use speech services. If there are others, and we can enumerate them, then we should do so, but if there isn't a finite list of possibilities the reference to "those aspects required for security and privacy" is too vague.
