Vadim is correct. What you require is an extension that I hadn't thought
about. I have noted the idea, but don't hold your breath. For a start,
implementing this is not straightforward, because the authenticators
can, in principle, request different numbers of data items, and there is
no way for one to pass on the data items it has got to another
authenticator.
