I do not believe this concern is very applicable to the MPLS OAM RAO. The whole 
point of RAO in an MPLS LSP is to be intercept the packet and punt it to a slow 
path, and it is not injected back. The MPLS OAM Router Alert option is 
invisible to the MPLS Label-switched hops, and when the LSP finishes, it is 
only processed once.

I am also not sure I understand the suggested action behind this comment. Are 
you suggesting we add a pointer to that Section, or that exact paragraph to the 
Security Considerations?

We had run this through 6MAN, both on list and presenting twice in IETF 
meetings.

Thanks!

Carlos.
