Re: [webauthn] Leap of Faith not only for Self and None Attestation Types

Hm, I think you are right. In fact, perhaps we should just delete the whole section [§13.3.1. Considerations for Self and None Attestation Types and Ignoring Attestation][sec], and also remove "Registration and" from item (3) in [§13.3. Security Benefits for WebAuthn Relying Parties][secben].

Biometric user verification also wouldn't help, since that only verifies what was established at registration time.
