Re: [webauthn] Requesting properties of created credentials. (#1449)

In some cases, the RP may also want to **(B) guide the user to an authenticator with a particular certification**.
As an example, a US Fedramp high application may need a FIPS-140-L2 certified authenticator.

Overall, it would be good to have the fine-grained use cases & requirements from the eID folks.  

Requirement (A) seems to actually be two requirements: 
* (A.1), the credential (aka key) be device-bound (in hardware), and 
* (A.2), only be usable by the RP ID and specific app (browser or native app?) that created it (I'm not sure how workable that is...).

Regarding (A.2) and (B), they would seem to be things that would foster fragmentation (users needing multiple authnrs for specific purposes and/or RPs) in the consumer context, and so would seem more applicable to the enterprise context ...?

Regarding (A.1), it may turn out to be addressed by the device-bound key we are envisioning in answer to issue #1546.
