Our disagreement exactly, Tero.

I do not think minimal is the place to define what proper security is. This is 
use case dependent. 
If we are confident that 802.15.4 can be secured at layer-2, I'm all set. We 
need to indicate that it is so and let people use it.

If we want to define how that is done per use case, that's a Pandora box that I 
do not want to open with this draft.

Cheers,

Pascal
