Alternative to httpi - and perhaps less of a change than adding a new 
protocol - could the OpenID headers be used to declare a public key? 
Declarations of identity, delegation, XRD file; I'm not even sure 
anymore how many OpenID headers it is possible to have, or how many 
have been reassigned to the XRD file instead.
