Shouldn't there be some mention of security also?

(At least I want anything opening ports in my machine or getting data from
outside of it to be scrutinized very carefully from the security point of
view. "And the intruder glides into your machine, smooth as silk...".)

Nothing we've looked at so far requires opening any ports on your machine.
This is so far all about a much richer set of clients than can be provided by
a browser. I'm not aware of anything within our intended scope at this point
where providing a listening server would be useful.
