Re: [webauthn] Adding a choice for RP to express preferences for attestation types

If this the principle you want to uphold, then you MUST show it for both privacy or direct attestation IMO. As a user, why should I feel more comfortable giving my private information to some thing called "privacy CA" run by a corporation and not comfortable giving it to an RP run by another or even same corporation? 

But if we go down that route, we would either be killing attestation because RPs would never want to deal with "scary" warnings that users say no to OR we are creating a warning that users ignore. I think we can agree that warnings that users ignore are not only useless, but are detrimental to other useful warnings. Do we think that attestation is also useless or bad?
