Re: XLink 1.1: Security Considerations

/ Bjoern Hoehrmann <derhoermi@gmx.net> was heard to say:
|   http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xlink11-20050707/ lacks a section on
| security considerations. Please include a proper discussion about
| security and privacy issues in the document, including which issues
| are considered out of scope of the draft and why. RFC 3552 provides
| useful guidelines for this, specifically, the document should conform
| to the requirements in section 5 of that document.

It's not clear what issues you are concerned about. Would something
along the lines of the notes in the HTML Recommendation satisfy you?

  Processing XLink elements may cause URIs to be dereferenced
  automatically or in response to user input. In this case, the
  security issues of [RFC1738], section 6, should be considered.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
