1. Interim never is.

2. Trying to specify an auth-res header ensures that we get enmeshed in that as
a new topic, prior to getting the base spec out the door.

3. Trying to anticipate how an independent bit of work will complete usually
leads to being wrong and losing synchrony with that work.

3. There is nothing in the base service that requires that we specify a
standardized mechanism for communicating authentication results to some outside
entity.
