Re: Revert Request for "http+aes" scheme (see also ISSUE-179)

Additional rationale for reverting this change:
- there is an alternative proposal before the group [1] which has been the subject of considerable debate, not yet concluded
- the http+aes propose is immature, has had little review by this group and no review by security experts outside this group

I suggest the proposal be considered by the new media encryption Task Force along with [1].
