Re: [webauthn] Split the standard by focus driven use cases. (#1751)

> However, maybe it might make sense to split this into two RFCs. This complex one for all the fluff, and another one for the straightforward authentication case. Like for example a separate "simplewebauthn" two-pager spec without options and proper JSON responses. Ideally it would also reuse other RFCs like JWT for signed content, to obtain something that everybody could use out of the box, easily and safely. But well, I guess this is just wishful thinking.

Yes, I think this is a good idea. @MasterKale and I have spoken about this before. But I think the challenge is that even in the simple spec, webauthn today can't actually meet some RP use cases properly .... 

Anyway, where would be the right place to bootstrap such an effort. I'd be more than happy to start.
