Re: [webauthn] Need to have authenticator-only extensions (#2331)

> In my experience, browser clients filter out extensions that they do not recognised and will not pass them along to authenticators. I'm not arguing for or against the idea, just stating the observed current behaviour.

Yes, that's my observation too. This is precisely the reason why I'm making the proposal. Because the spec states that every extension is for clients, the clients are of course free to deal with them as they see fit. I'm arguing that we should not let clients be the gatekeepers for extensions meant for authenticators only.
