While I don't find this terribly important, we might just want to say to
accept anything except CLEAR for now, and specify why (avoid DoS via a
hijacked connection, though interception of data is fine).

I would have thought that a BIND connection could possibly allow
hijacking while still providing other security requirements (like
CLEAR). That would mean a BIND connection may or may not be allowable
here, depending on the underlying layer, which is why the reason for the
level requirement should perhaps be mentioned.
