As far as security goes, as my work on federation has reminded me over and 
over again, security is nuanced. QR codes don't pose any security risk to 
anyone, the problem is that many QR code readers don't do any sort of 
sanitation and often lack basic security features. Just about all of the 
trouble from QR codes comes from naive developers assuming that nothing bad 
can come from a QR code, and users trusting them.

Please don't make the mistake of confusing the statement 'there are 
security concerns associated with using QR codes' with 'QR codes are a 
security concern'. The horror that is browser security standards is full of 
places where those two ideas have been confused and it makes developing the 
federation things for tiddlywiki very annoying when it doesn't have to be.
