I removed an HTML comment that mentioned that CAPTCHA may be expanded into a section called 'security'. I wanted to point out that CAPTCHA are not a security measure, unless the premise 'everything humans do can be trusted while everything machines do cannot' were somehow true. CAPTCHA can be used to reduce some types of automated spam or nuisance behaviour on a large scale, or reduce the server load from large amounts of automated queries such as search queries. ...
That said, a small section on security of web forms could be added and linked off to a larger article called something like 'web application security' as the topic of web security a) is relevant to web forms but extends way beyond the scope of web forms and b) is big and complex enough for its own article (or multiple articles).
