jyasskin has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== Replace Authenticator Model with CTAP ==
The [WebAuthn Authenticator model](https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#authenticator-model) looks like the same interface as [CTAP's Authenticator API](https://fidoalliance.org/specs/fido-v2.0-rd-20161004/fido-client-to-authenticator-protocol-v2.0-rd-20161004.html#authenticator-api), but less precisely specified. If that's correct, I think it would be cleaner to have the WebAuthn spec define just the behavior of the Client (UA), and call out to CTAP when it needs the authenticator to do something.
