What I have actually put on the Wish List is this:

(128) 08-Jan-03 S A condition for authenticators controlling advertising
An authenticator would be advertised only if the condition is true. The same
condition needs to be checked when searching for a requested authenticator, to
ensure that only advertised authenticators can be used. Or set a flag to show
that advertisement has happened.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The flag idea occurred just as I was typeing - but it seems to me to be
best, both for performance reasons and for the reason you state.
