As discussed on the telecon today, I've found the name "Web Security
Context" to be purely an impediment in explaining to people what this
Working Group is doing. We're going to pick a document title and short
name soon, so I am starting a thread to pick a better name.

I think a first step is to get the term "user interface" into the name.
This WG is *all* about UI, so let's put that in the name.

Looking over our draft Note and use cases, it also seems this WG is
mostly about website authentication to the user, so let's get that into
the name as well. Confidentiality and data integrity can be seen as
subordinate to authentication, since without authentication their
meaning is less clear.

As a first kick at the can, I suggest the name "WAUI: Website
Authentication User Interface", pronounced "wowie".
