[cc to [email protected] since it is of interest to the xmpp ecosystem]

I've uploaded draft-ietf-kitten-sasl-ht-01. The major changes since the 
adoption by the Kitten WG are

- the introduction of a response status byte to indicate success or
   failure responses
- the capability to transmit authenticated key/value pairs in the
   exchanged messages (e.g., for XEP-0474 [1])


SASL-HT is already deployed using an older and incompatible version of 
the I-D in some parts of the XMPP ecosystem. Therefore, we probably need 
to adjust the SASL Mechanism Name to avoid interoperability issues. For 
example, from

HT-SHA-512-ENDP

to

HT2-SHA-512-ENDP

Please forgive my lack of creativity regarding the new name. Suggestions 
on a more creative naming schema that is in-line with the constraints of 
SASL Mechanism names are appreciated.

And, of course, feedback in general is welcomed.

- Florian
