Authors and working group:
In light of this discussion, I suggest that we replace the content of
the Security Considerations section with this:

NEW
   This extension provides additional information that cooperative
   clients can use as an optimization, and does not introduce new
   security concerns.  This extension does not address abusive clients
   that intend to consume server resources, and servers will still have
   to take action to disconnect and/or restrict access to clients that
   exhibit abusive behavior.
END

Please comment, and if there are no objections, please make the change
in another revision.  Thanks.

Barry
