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?
