Hi

Sorry to have taken so long to respond -- too much travel.

My responses inline.

Accepted as presented in my personal copy.

An IETF document about them has not been adopted yet. Shall I just add a
sentence or two describing the threats that each sub-sections are dealing
with? Or shall I point to the research papers that I was reading? (Some of
them are not freely available though.)

In fact, I meant either "research" or "researches" as I was not pointing to
persons but rather the work done by them.
I fixed it as "research" in my personal copy.

Good point. ISO/IEC 29100 is a high level document so the coverage is wider
but does not get into concrete details where as RFC6973 gives more concrete
guidance.  They complement each other. I have added a paragraph about
RFC6873 in my personal copy.
