Well, not necessarily a lot, but sure I guess it might make
most sense to see what'll be needed so that HTTP/2.0+TLS1.3
can do at least as well as but hopefully better than the
kind(s) of client auth possible with HTTP/1.1+TLS1.2. And
then do that. I suspect the embedded/small-devices might
make a non-X.509 based approach worthwhile though.
