Which is why there is some text disclaiming this in the 3rd paragraph of 
the introduction.

Do we need to answer this question now and for this document?
My assumption is that any proposed solution would need to do some form 
of security evaluation against the whole list of threats and it might 
very well be that some threats don't apply at all because there is no 
separate ID name space. But we can defer that question until later I 
think, and keep this document more general.
