Given CNTNSAR.NS<n> enables non-secure access to CNTACR<n>, I guess the
obvious interpretation is that for frames listed as non-secure, this has
been configured to permit non-secure access to the frame and associated
CNTACR<n>.

I will work to that assumption while reviewing, though I still believe
this needs to be clarified in the spec.

Thanks,
Mark.
