1) missing security considerations section.
2) need references split (normative/non-normative)

other comments:

3) security considerations should mention that BREAK often provides
   an out-of-band signal giving access to a debugger or boot ROM and that
   therefore support for this facility should be controllable by the
   administrator of the receiving end.

4) an implementation not directly connected to a serial line may
   instead choose to interpret BREAK in an implementation-defined
   manner consistent with the general use of BREAK as an
   attention/interrupt signal; for instance, a service processor could
   use some other out-of-band facility to get the attention of a
   system it manages.
