That's all fine and good, but it can't be deployed because it is a completely incompatible change. The WG has discussed the issues involved in changing the authentication syntax and decided that there was no way to do so in HTTP/1.x. A far better plan would be to determine what you need in the abstract and make sure that it is defined that way for the next *major* version change of HTTP. .....Roy
