Modularizing Auth 2.0 Discovery

[Recordon, David]

I'd be happy with either approach. One spec with a section on each type
or separate specs for each.  I think small separate specs are slightly
harder to comprehend, though make it easer for things like the SMTP
extension to develop.

I disagree that a single spec can contain discovery rules for all
conceivable discovery types without becoming ridiculously big. The
discovery rules in the current spec for just handling HTTP/HTTPS and XRI
discovery are already big enough.

However, I clearly have a bias for lots of small specs over one large
spec, and clearly your bias is the opposite. :)
