Agreed. As BRSKI-AE is intended to extend BRSKI and therefore uses HTTP, there 
is no need for a specific enhancement. The discovery using /.well-known will 
provide all available endpoints to the pledge, which then can evaluate the 
response. From an application perspective I would expect that the pledge may 
not support multiple enrollment approaches and simply try whatever he supports. 
The domain registrar would be the more capable component to support multiple 
options. 
For the constraint case (not contained in BRSKI), the discovery of specific 
endpoints is more important to not overload the pledge.   
Based on that, I would propose to update the example in section 5.3 of BRSKI-AE 
to list only /.well-know instead of the currently stated /.well-know/brski.

As stated before, the value from my understanding is more clarity (distinct 
naming) regarding the provided services/endpoints.

As this is essentially a name change and does not change the functionality of 
BRSKI I would assume that there is no need for an new IETF LC, which would slow 
down publication. With that assumption in mind, I would be in favor.
