Oh, that's cool! :-D

It implements the missing parts on top of WebTransport. I was especially sad that WT doesn't do client authentication. You can't send credentials with a CONNECT request. But this thingy adds exactly this. Great!

Also having some standardized way to open QUIC Streams through NAT sounds nice. (Even I think the proper fix for this issues would just be IPv6.)

Frankly it's very early days. It's not implemented, and not even considered currently.

But as I'm currently into implementing a WebTransport lib maybe I should try to add the features form this draft. Would be funny to have a P2P ready WT lib. Only that NAT traversal part I would leave out for now, I guess, as I'm not sold on the idea that this complexity is strictly needed. NAT just needs to die finally…
