IETF WGs do not generate specifications; authors do.  If someone can
author up a chunk of text for the Authentication section that describes
how the "http" URL space is treated hierarchically for predetermining
the reusability of credentials within a given realm, and can do so in
a manner less complicated than this sentence, then I am sure Jim can
add it to the Issues list and the matter can be resolved.
