The authorization system in ACME includes a number of different challenges.
dns-01 and http-01 establish control over a name,
bp-nodeid is a different kind of name (I didn't understand the nature of this
          beast, so i can't name it)

abandonned draft-ietf-acme-telephone-01 authorizes telephone numbers.
onion has special considerations, but is still a name, just not a DNS
resolvable name.

abandonned draft-ietf-acme-email-tls-05 authorizes an SMTP endpoint via DNS
name. The mechanism is different, but essentially, it's still a name.

RFC 8823 authorizes USER@FQDNs using an email-based challenge.

As I repeated several times at the mic at last week's meeting, the ideas in
draft-liu-acme-rats-00 are not challenges, and do not relate directly to
authorization.

In the slides, in particular, slide 8, the term:
   "device-attest-02 ACME challenge"
was used, and this was unfortunate, because I think it confuses things.

This device attestation could be used with ANY of the authorizations above.
In effect, we need a new term here.
(Yes, this is a bikeshed request)
