Relaying from Danny. The document should say, one way or the other.

I'm gonna say I don't see the point. But I can add something to the Security Considerations that says something like: This proposal contains no content that would require or contra-indicate the use of MAC protection. Will that be sufficient? I can add that to a bunch of proposals, but, as I said, I really don't see the point.
