As an individual: If I had to make a judgment call I would argue that this extra round trip is not such a big deal compared to introducing a new special case. It is my understanding that this exchange happens once, when the application is accessed. Compared to using EAP for network access where potentially a high frequency of reauthentications need to take place I don't think this is a big deal. So I'd be happy to sacrifice this one extra round trip for generality. As a chair: Perhaps we need to make a formal consensus call, don't you think?
