How can this be done if the request isn't signed? Can't a user
presenting the request change the max_auth_age to whatever it wants,
or omit it entirely? "Yes, I met your requirement" doesn't mean much
if the requirement itself can be trivially changed by the client and
the RP has no indication this occurred.
Confused,
Nate.
