Actually, please include draft-williams-http-rest-auth (RESTauth,
successor to REST-GSS) and remove
draft-williams-httpbis-auth-classification.

(No one seems interested in
draft-williams-httpbis-auth-classification.  Whereas there is some
interest in RESTauth (some in the IETF and at least one party outside
interested in deploying it in the enterprise.)
