Telechat Review of draft-ietf-nfsv4-rpcsec-gssv3-14

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.

Note I'm reviewing the version 14 (although it was version 13 in the
assignments list).

The document specifies where to carry Mandatory Access Control information in
the protocol. It does not specify the Mandatory Access Control information
itself… that is inherited from another spec.

The language in places is a bit foreign to me, perhaps because I don't "speak"
GSS-API or mandatory access control.  So, for instance, in the sentence

    "Existing GSS-API mechanisms are insufficient for communicating

 certain aspects of authority               to a server"

I gather from context that this is authorization information.  I'd have said
"...insufficient for communicating certain authorization information".  If
"aspects of authority" means something else then perhaps "aspects of authority"
should be defined here, even if defined elsewhere. If indeed this is common
terminology then OK.

There's a typo in section 2.5  "with an acccept stat of PROC_UNAVAIL"  (extra
"c" in accept)
