COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have cleared my DISCUSS based on changes in git.

I am looking forward to continuing discussion about advertising support for the
"vapid" authentication scheme in WWW-Authenticate:

In Section 3, 3rd para:

   This authentication scheme does not require a challenge.  Clients are
   able to generate the Authorization header field without any
   additional information from a server.  Therefore, a challenge for
   this authentication scheme MUST NOT be sent in a WWW-Authenticate
   header field.

Does this mean that there is no way to discover whether a particular server
supports "vapid" HTTP authentication scheme?
