[webauthn] _rpId_ generation allows more relaxation of same-origin restrictions than document.domain does

bzbarsky has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== _rpId_ generation allows more relaxation of same-origin 
restrictions than document.domain does ==
Providing an rpId of "foo.com" would lead to a single rpId being 
allowed to be shared by "http://foo.com", "https://foo.com", and 
"https://foo.com:8080".  The first may not be a problem because this 
API is secure context only, but is it intended that "https://foo.com" 
and "https://foo.com:8080" be able to share an rpId?  If not, this 
needs to be fixed in the spec.  If this is intended, it may be worth a
 note calling it out, because this is a quite surprising deviation 
from how same-origin policy normally works.
