This gives more specific limitations about AE-2, rather than just depending on external links. This is to allow people to make more informed decisions on whether to use it or not. I am maybe torn on whether to refer to AE-2's "flaws" or "limitations", but opting to use the word "flaws" since it's stronger and from the point of view of people's expectations of encryption, more accurate. This is done in repsonse to the request/discussion at #93
