Subject: Authentication

HTTP2 ideas:

 -- authentication
	Currently I'm going to fake this with document delivery
	via e-mail, but I'd rather have *real* authentication.
	Should the authentication scheme be build in, or should
	it be left to clients and servers to guess?
 -- tracking changes
	I should be able to ping a document and get a unique
	value back (cf md5 or snefru) to see whether it has
	changed or not.
