Okay. I'm largely ignorant of the details of JASPIC and I'm trying to
familiarize myself with it as much as possible. I believe markt has been the
primary Tomcat committer working on JASPIC so far. Hopefully I'll finally be
able to change that :)

If the JASPIC provider can be "trusted" to pass-back a valid/meaningful
autoType to the container, then I think it's perfectly reasonable to use that
authType for later stages.

My only concern is that Tomcat might be looking for authType=JASPIC for certain
things. If that's the case we'll need something more complicated in Tomcat to
track *both* the indicator that JASPIC is in-use and also what the "effective"
authType is via the JASPIC provider (which may be some kind of meta-provider,
as you suggest).
