I think it should be consistent with other query operations that use
authInfo.  If a server operator wants to let a non-sponsoring client see the
results of a transfer using the transfer query, they should be able to
create the policy and implementation to do so -- just as they can with the
<info> command.

I'm working on changes now to address some comments received from the IESG,
so I'll work this in.
