That change and a few more are in the -02 version:

    A new version has been submitted for draft-dukhovni-opportunistic-security:

    http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-dukhovni-opportunistic-security-02.txt

    Diff from previous version:

    http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-dukhovni-opportunistic-security-02

Summary of changes:

    - Replaced undefined "strong protection" with "protection
      against both passive and active attacks".

    - Moved Terminology section up between the Introduction and the Design
      Principles (body) section.

    - More references.

    - Split some run-on sentences.

If anyone feels strongly that some of the original text was better,
please speak up...
