Good explanation Doug.  The rest:authentication is only metadata -- the
onAuthenticate still needs to be implemented and access that metadata to
see if authentication is needed.

I agree -- I'll add a helper method to the REST base endpoint called
isAuthenticationRequired(arguments.event) to aid in this process:
