This would be ideal.  There are some statements we can make.. such as
"you should use tls with basic" and "you should be able to support some
kind of rfc2617 defined or derived authentication mechanism" but that's
about it.  If folks want to go the cookie route, more power to 'em.
There really isn't any need or us to go into any specific detail on
this.  It is just HTTP after all.
