Subject: [EAI] I'm happy with the framework doc

At the meeting it was noted that we weren’t getting enough review of the documents.  I’ve reread framework and am satisfied with it.  I have one comment that isn’t worth much time unless the author(s) are really bored:  I’m happy if it just stays there to avoid churn.

In 9.1 there’s a random-ish comment:

“…taking
   advantage of those features is almost always bad practice unless the
   intent is to create some form of security by obscurity.”

My understanding was that it was generally accepted by the security community that “security by obscurity” itself wasn’t really a good idea.  So I’m not sure how this phrase helps the EAI framework doc.  So I’d probably just yank everything starting with “unless”.

Also, the 5290 draft note can be removed (about time) since it finally got published.

I’ve also gotten feedback from others here that they’re happy with the doc as well and would like to see it proceed.
