My reading of the spec is that you would have to create a new profile
(my dumb reading is that TLS is required for the "basic" authentication
suite, and you'd define your own authentication suite).  That's that
part that I suspect would be a giant, awful slog through the OASIS
standardization process, which would probably one of those fruitless,
soul-draining exercises.  It might NOT be, but I'm pretty sure it would
be an uphill battle.
