The Servlet spec, section 14.4 item 18, describes requirements for supporting BASIC and BASIC authentication via the web.xml _login-config_ element. This specification requires that implementations of BASIC and BASIC be made available as _HttpAuthenticationMechanism_ CDI beans. The servlet container is NOT REQUIRED to implement separate and independent mechanisms to satisfy each requirement. Instead, the container MAY choose to provide a single mechanism, for each of BASIC and BASIC,
(emphasis mine)
I think what's meant here is BASIC and FORM, isn't it?
An _IdentityStore_ is expected to perform only perform context- and environment-independent processing (for example, verifying usernames and passwords and returning caller data).

Probably should be "to perform only".
