Hey all,

Just posted a PR with a sketch of the "precondition" idea that we discussed
at the F2F in Buenos Aires:

https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/acme/pull/124

This change seems pretty simple, and I think it lets us hit a few pain
points:

* Wildcards: Just send the CSR in and let the CA tell you what to validate

* Payment: Specify an "out-of-band" precondition

* CA issuance flows: If the CA won't tell you how to authorize until you
send in a CSR, this now lets the ACME server lead the client to do
authorization after the new-cert request comes in.

We may need a little more machinery here, e.g., to be able to have the
new-authz endpoint say "that's not going to work directly, just request the
cert".  We may even want to just revise the flow, so that instead of
reg-authz-cert, the default order is reg-cert-authz-cert.

But I thought I'd go ahead and send this first pass out for feedback.

What do people think?

Thanks,
--Richard
