Subject: secdir review of draft-snell-atompub-bidi-06

I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's 
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the 
IESG.  These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the 
security area directors.  Document editors and WG chairs should treat 
these comments just like any other last call comments.

draft-snell-atompub-bidi-06 is a very short document and adds an
experimental attribute to the atom syndication format to indicate
whether text should be presented left-to-right or right-to-left. This
experimental approach would replace the current "direction guessing"
heuristic approach.

I see nothing that leads me to believe there is any additional
security consideration that is not already discussed in the security
considerations of RFC4287 "The Atom Syndication Protocol". RFC4287
considers the HTML/XHTML content, URIs, IRIs, Spoofing, and encryption
and digital signatures.
