IETF rules require a security considerations section. That doesn't mean we 
can't also incorporate additional security text into each grant section. But 
having one comprehensive security section makes the other parts easier to read.

How do you envision this being incorporated into v2? Just section 5 or the 
entire document?

My two cents: rather than dedicating a single section of the core doc to 
security considerations, smaller sections should be added to individual 
profiles.  I think the following sections would be useful:

User-agent and web-server flow: mostly the same security considerations for 
these two flows.  I think there are subsections here.
   1) Authorization server implementation
   2) Client implementation

Token design: Design and implementation recommendations for refresh tokens and 
access tokens.

Client id, client secret, and assertions: when and how to use client secrets, 
when and how to use assertions, how to store, etc...

Other flows: each of the other flows has separate security considerations.  In 
some cases they are brief, but they pretty much always need to be there.

Cheers,
Brian
