Re: brief authmeth notes



Hallvard,
 
I apologize for missing these two suggestions in the -14 revision that i just submitted to the internet-drafts editor. I have already incorporated them into the -15 revision which I plan to post prior to the IETF 62 cutoff (and hopefully with additional changes based on feedback from the WG).

After a brief look at authmeth-13, the changes that have been done so
far mostly look good. A few exceptions:

This is wrong, the authorization identity may be sent with the EXTERNAL
request. 'Authentication identity' is derived... in authmeth-12 was
right, as far as I can tell.

I notice the suggestion to remove authentication 'state' in thread
"authmeth: association -= authentication ID" was taken, but Appendix A
retains one "authentication state" which should probably be
"authorization state" or "association state".
