Ola!

RFC 27 mentions the following fields for authentication requests:
• The domain, which SHALL contain a string.
• The identity, the identity of the originating ZeroMQ socket.
• The mechanism, which SHALL contain a string.

I wanted to clarify the following ambiguities:

1) Where does the "domain" value come from? Is this set on the socket receiving 
the connection? Part of the metadata send along during the handshake?

2) identity mentions "originating ZeroMQ socket", does this refer to the remote 
sender or to the identity of the socket being connected to? (i.e. remote socket 
A with identity 1 connects to socket B with identity 2, socket B generates an 
authentication request, does this request have identity 1 or 2?)

3) mechanism: I assume this is supposed to be identical to the string value in 
the ZMTP header?

Cheers,
Merijn
