I actually proposed something very much like this about 15 years ago, based on a flexible transport layer that could deal with things like NAT and with both authentication and authorization (I'm always dismayed by proposals that are hand-wavey about security, baffled by ones that don't mention it at all). I think it's generally a good idea even if the proposal is flawed.
Given that he's punted on both security and transport it may be better to treat this as an information model or what-have-you rather than as a complete protocol.
