Sounds good to me. Isn't this something that 3118 supports since the server
can just send back an Authentication Option with this information? We might
need to define a new authentication type.

RE CSR draft, yes, I had assumed we would not require Auth. Just mention its
existence and suggest those concerned with security issues use it.

Plus, has anyone even implemented it yet? Please?

On the point of 3118 deployability, there has been some private
discussion that what would be useful to have is a DHC authentication
mechanism that can use certificates, and that only authenticates the
server to the client. This would seem to be a useful deployment
scenario. Thoughts?

Also, note that the final wording in draft-aboba-dhc-domsearch-09.txt
on this point didn't require the use of 3118, but did point out its
existance. That made it through the IESG (but it also prompted the
above discussion about the desirability of a more useful/deployable
authentication mechanism).
