Stephen and I just had a chat about this matter. He and I came up with a
proposed paragraph to add after that list of bullet points:

  In the initial phase of work on HTTP/2.0, new proposals
  for authentication schemes can be made.  The WG will
  select zero or more of those with a goal of choosing
  at least one scheme that is better than those available
  for HTTP/1.x.  Non-selected schemes might be discussed
  with the IETF Security Area for further work there.

If the WG selects zero, how can it meet the goal of choosing at least one 
scheme?


It doesn't, of course. If the WG doesn't meet that goal, it will be clear at 
the time, and the WG can ask to recharter for that limited purpose.
