I have no objection to making people's lives easier... but if the
Network Security Requirements were converted to an independent document
in RFC3647 format (and particularly if both documents were Markdown)
then doing an automatic merge of the two, using the section numbers, to
produce an unofficial unified document would be the work of a fairly
short script, which I would be willing to write.

Is that a way forward which meets people's usability goals without
formally combining the two documents?
