Sometimes there is a grey area between a security vulnerability and a really 
nice feature. I think
it is important that everyone understand what a user should be able to do and 
what a user should not
be able to do since "that's not a bug, that's a feature" is cold comfort to a 
user who just
discovered that his security requirements were not met. Also, having a standard 
laid down will allow
us to better classify security issues if they are discovered (I can proudly say 
that we have
improved here by leaps and bounds) I have a draft document which attempts to 
detail that line
between bug and feature and I think it is time to move it into main space.

WDYT?
