Re: [webauthn] `rpID` origin relaxation?

As @balfanz wrote in

> I'll point out that the webauthn spec is currently strictly 
enforcing
same-origin (where origin is defined by scheme-host-port) by requiring
 that
the so-defined origin is included in the client data. An assertion
generated on one origin won't be valid on another origin.

 to scope key
pairs, meaning that two origins within the same public suffix [eTLD+1]
 may know the
client by the same public key. See my comment on the original github 
thread
as to why that is:
