It would need _a_ specification, not necessarily IVOA.
If a 3rd party Grid project already had one defined, then we might want 
to be able to send and receive data from their services too.

I don't see a good reason for explicitly excluding it.
One use case would be for an external service (not part of the VOSpace 
service itself) that stored sensitive data.
DIME or MTOM with XML signatures would work well for authenticating access.
