Sorry this is late. 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.

From the introduction, this doc defines textual conventions for the
representation of floating-point numbers. The security considerations section
points out that the doc only defines textual conventions, and says, "Meaningful
security considerations can only be written in the MIB modules that define
management objects.  Therefore, this memo has no impact on the security of the
Internet." I agree with this.
