Comment (by jinmei):

 Considering how we end up adding this to RFC4620:

    This protocol has the potential of revealing information useful to a
    would-be attacker.  An implementation of this protocol MUST have a
    default configuration that refuses to answer queries from global-
    scope [3] addresses.

 I also suspect Option 3 wouldn't be the best one.  And, even ignoring
 the "security/privacy" concerns, I'm not convinced option 3 is the
 best "default"; in my understanding, NSID isn't a feature for general
 use, but is intended to be used for a limited class of educated
 operators.
