I just noticed that I failed to reply to this. The proposed change is to 
replace

"Clients MUST NOT use alternative services with a host that is different 
from the origin's without strong server authentication; ...."

by

"Clients MUST NOT use an alternative service with a host that is 
different than the origin's without strong server authentication linking 
the alternative service with the origin's identity. ..."

My remaining concern is that "...linking the alternative service with 
the origin's identity..." might not sufficiently precise for a normative 
requirement. More feedback appreciated.

Best regards, Julian
