I care for the minimum interop we can get here without being too
prescriptive w.r.t. implementation.  I don't mind saying that there must be
a read-write lock attribute that can be used to unlock principals locked by
N-strikes.  I don't mind saying that there may be (MAY, not SHOULD, and
certainly not MUST, implement on the server side) a read-only strike-count
attribute (clients can be required to implement, but not servers, or if
they can be required to  then they must explicitly be allowed to not
support N-strikes.  I'm also OK with a variety of other optional attributes
(again ,perhaps must implement for clients, but not servers) for the
alternative policies that we discussed.
