Tero Kivinen's SecDir review identified some parts that would
benefit from editorial improvements (such as giving pointers
to specific sections of 5.* when discussing R-* in Sections 3 and 4).

In my opinion, readability would be enhanced if forward references to requirements
included section numbers.

For example, in Section 3:

OLD

   The discussion in this section relates to requirements R-PASS-MEDIA,
   R-PASS-SIG, R-ASSOC, R-SIG-MEDIA, R-ACT-ACT, and R-ID-BINDING.

NEW

   The discussion in this section relates to requirements R-ASSOC (specified in
   Section 5.1), R-PASS-MEDIA,  R-PASS-SIG, R-SIG-MEDIA, R-ACT-ACT, and
   R-ID-BINDING (specified in Section 5.2).

This could alternatively be addressed in the Introduction, noting that that requirements
have the form R-xxxx and are specified after the motivating text, or by adding section
numbers to the definitions (e.g., the definiton of R-PASS-MEDIA would refer to section 3).
