This document describes a post-stack MNA header to carry ancillary data for MPLS. The security considerations section follows the considerations-by-reference pattern, pointing to RFC 9789 and the main MNA draft, both of which have extensive security considerations sections. The only thing this document calls out is that the ancillary data carried may be sent in the clear, so some other means of protecting it (outside this specification) should be used. I think that in this case, using this pattern is fine.
