I’m forwarding this for information, as I’m not sure if anyone in security area would otherwise be aware of this.  

Provisional URI schemes are registered FCFS, without review, so there’s no IETF-approved action here, but it feels to me a bit like a new generic security transport being packaged as a web protocol.  I wonder if such an initiative, regardless of its security merits, should be a TLS/SSL option rather than a new protocol scheme?  I don’t know enough about security protocols to judge.
