Looking at https://github.com/w3c/wot-security/blob/master/wot-security-metadata.md, it seems that the terms defined are supposed to be combined freely. Are they? I think this has to big problems:

  • It is hard for implementations to actually make sense out of the vocabulary
  • It is hard for non-security experts to write sensible security metadata

Hence, I would like the security vocabulary being structured or constrained similar to the data schema vocabulary. That means:

  • scheme actually defines the security sub-class, and hence which other field are mandatory and optional in the entry
  • We need to define this structure, similar to the rest of the TD terms

OK, that makes sense. I'm in the middle of reorganizing the content to create an HTML pull request and can do that restructuring. The content of valid entries would not change, I would just restrict what can be used where.
