I cannot really guarantee that such a thing would be adequately implemented
by stations. As the anti-clogging token indexing  is based on the station address
I can extend comeback_token_hash() to concatenate the authentication algorithm
ID with the address, to allow concurrent support for SAE and PASN. What do you think?
