Hey Daniel,

Meh.  Just the minor, technical part.  It fails to separate the
authentication user from the resource user.

Actually, the current proposal was woven into HTTP SASL, as a "userview"
variable.  The whole reason I wrote this new spec is to get it out
there, because it provided clutter and obscured the clarity of the
authentication concept.

> I appreciate your optimism!
