 The interface approach can also work for Discriminator Objects and Schema Objects, but it is also possible to keep the Discriminator Object's behavior within a single document using the relative URI-reference syntax of `mapping`.
 
-There are no URI-based alternatives for the Security Requirement Object or for the Operation Object's `tags` field.
-These limitations are expected to be addressed in a future release.

 See [Appendix F: Resolving Security Requirements in a Referenced Document](#appendix-f-resolving-security-requirements-in-a-referenced-document) for an example of the possible resolutions, including which one is recommended by this section.
 The behavior for Discrimator Object non-URI mappings and for the Operation Object's `tags` field operate on the same principles.
