I agree that 4742bis is the right place to discuss this. As mentioned
in a separate thread, 4741bis should state which security services the
secure transports must provide and 4741bis should IMHO establish a
requirement that specifications of secure transports must provide a
section explaining how an authenticated user name can be provided.
