Hello,

Has this group considered working on this draft: Link relationship types
for authentication
<https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-pot-authentication-link-01.html>

Link rels for authentication, registration and user identification could be
very useful for any HTTP API that may require authentication. It seems like
a valuable thing to standardize to me.

I see that Evert proposed it last October
<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/httpapi/jRqWyZiLw5_SSiqajOoHtkUe6WE/>,
but his email didn't receive any replies (unfortunately, I joined the list
a few days too late). I think the group was busy with preparing an agenda
for IETF 109 and/or his email may have been overshadowed by another
proposal that had a lot of overlap with the Linkset draft.

Is this something this group would like to work on, now or in the future?

Kindly,

Gabe
