Hi Pierce,

I think in the context of this specification, we really need to view authentication service as the RFC8224 defined authentication service.  Beyond that is industry and implementation specific.  Recall that ATIS-1000074 has same Reason header requirements, so I would claim that current implementations ignored this if they can’t support this functionality as a split SIP/HTTP based “authentication service” implementation as you are defining it.

I don't think we want something _different_, and I don't want to try to restate those rules in this document.
