There was strong objections from members of the Working Group, in
particular implementers that are on public record.

Thus, while the W3C is still committed do finding an appropriate home
for these use-cases and associated standards, it will not be this
Working Group.

If you have a particular use-case and proposed technical solution that
you think would be acceptable to implementers, e-mail the Web Security
Interest Group at public-web-security@w3.org.
