Description
I suggest to add a simple key compromise analysis section for the top-level roles akin to the corresponding sections in PEP 458 and PEP 480. That is a matrix that shows what type of keys an attacker needs to compromise in order to successfully perform a given attack.
The 2.2. Threat model and analysis should be a good place for this.

Research direction
Start with section 2.2, “Threat model and analysis,” and compare its treatment of top-level roles with the key compromise analysis sections in PEP 458 and PEP 480. Identify the relevant attack types and key categories from the specification, then document them in a matrix showing which compromises enable each attack. Done means the section clearly covers the top-level roles and their attack requirements.
