This "pause and do the auth dance" (hammertime?) extension does need to
synchronize with the stream explicitly as you may have a transaction that
was started before the authentication and completes after. If the auth is
inband at the higher layer that's taken care of.

I'm not sure how big a deal this is.

Sincerely,
Watson
