    <thetext>Concerns around implementation security issues are preventing adoption of WebDriver notably in the TV industry, which is worried WebDriver could be used to subvert a user&apos;s TV set.

It would be extremely useful to either have a (non-normative) section on security within the spec, describing the potential security risks (including social engineering) and mitigation strategies, or have such a document hosted elsewhere to which I could point to when security is brought up as a concern.

Case studies on how the security concerns have been resolved in shipping implementations would also be tremendously useful.</thetext>
