I'll let EKR speak for himself, but this seems really clumsy to me.  At the
very least, it requires the server to allocate more resources than it
otherwise would, order+authz instead of just authz.  The new-authz endpoint
is simple enough (and optional enough) that I think it's worth keeping
around on its own for those who want it.
