Re: [webauthn] Supply an “intention" member in PublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions dictionary (#1292)

While there are lots of knobs in the spec (user verification, platform auth, resident key), this kind of intention is definitely a useful abstraction from a website implementation — a lot of our work at GitHub involved trying to map the knobs onto recommended values for this "intention" abstraction.

One additional thought I have is that I've heard "passwordless" used to describe "usernameless" (used for both identification and auth factor) as well as "only replacing password/MFC" (used for auth but not identification). It would be useful if the spec made easier to navigate those.
