I read through this draft. I spotted one nit that I sent directly to
Alexey. Other than that, I did not see anything wrong.

Regarding the open issue "Should "sid" directive be an attribute or a
new HTTP header field shared with other HTTP authentication
mechanisms?", I think the way it is specified in this document as part
of the WWW-Authenticate header is just fine.

After information from Precis is incorporated, this document looks ready
for WGLC.
