Hi Prasheel,

In case it's helpful, here's my node.js implementation of an earlier draft
of ACME:

You can also look at the Go implementation that Let's Encrypt is working on:

You're going to want to store them in a database either way.  If you're
going to support new-order, you should be prepared to create authorizations
in response to a new-order request.

That's up to your internal architecture.  You should ensure that each
challenge is associated to a a unique authorization.

That's up to the server's policy.  Typically, there would be one
authorization per identifier in the CSR.

That's up to the server's policy.  Typically, the server offers whatever
challenges it considers to be sufficient to prove authorization.

Yes.  "... a server should consider any one of the challenges sufficient to
make the authorization valid"
