Non-goal: authorization #14

Authorization - object ownership, origin checks, permissions, etc - could be worth its own CG report eventually, but I'd propose that it's out of scope for this one specifically.

I agree. Authentication (AuthC) is just saying who you are. I think HTTP signature does that nicely.
