Should the pcap specification's Security Considerations section pick up the considerations from the Media-Type registration? #156

Currently, it just links to https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.tcpdump.pcap, which contains a detailed Security Considerations section, with several specific considerations.

Should those be copied to the specification's Security Considerations section?

(And is there a procedure for updating the registration for vnd.tcpdump.pcap? If and when the I-D is accepted as an RFC, the registration's "Published specification" section should probably be updated to refer to the RFC as the published specification.

And my email address should be updated as well.)
