OK, here's my angst: we _had_ this in the protocol once before, and no one
objected to changing things to where they are now.  If there's a strong
desire to revisit that decision, I'd really like to see a lot more support
for putting it back in before I spend the time putting text back in what I
had to rip out last year.

So, I'd like to ask a basic question assuming that the compromise position
on the <info> command has already been accepted:

Should we put auth info back into the base protocol for possible use with
any transform command or not?
