further terminology issues:

We already have a term, [roaming 
authenticator](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#attachment-roaming-authenticators),
 for "portable" authnr. 

We already have a term, [user 
verification](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#user-verification), for 
what the above is terming (in @rlin1's parlance) "the authenticator 
positively identifies the user", i.e., we should say "the 
authenticator performs user verification".
