The syntax in HTTPbis is:
    credentials = auth-scheme [ 1*SP ( b64token / #auth-param ) ]

The syntax in Bearer 09 is:
   credentials = "Bearer" 1*SP ( b64token / #auth-param )

As this conforms to HTTPbis, I don't see a problem.  I think HTTPbis and Bearer 
are both fine as-is.

Mike,

that doesn't work. The restriction in HTTPbis is there because it's necessary 
so a recipient can parse a header field that contains multiple, comma-separated 
challenges.

If you think that HTTPbis is wrong here please come over to the HTTPbis mailing 
list and argue your point.

Best regards, Julian
