Your points granted, the feeling of the HTTP-using community is, by
and large, that HTTP security/authz as it stands is “good enough”.
Are you arguing that the security of HTTP 2.0 should be required to be

useful language to put in the draft charter so that we can argue about
specifics not armwaving.
