I see the addition of this type, and others that may or may not be
useful/valuable/worthwhile as a distraction from the more pressing needs
of getting SDSI/SPKI through the IETF process, getting sample
parsers out in circulation, getting sample certs for people to test
interoperability, etc.

I'm making a tiny working assumption that adding more <auth> fields once
we've fielded SDSI/SPKI is simple. If not, then perhaps work is
needed to make it simple.

I recommend tabling this suggestion. Consider it sometime down the line.
