Remark 95.14.6. We conjecture that up to a replacement as in Stacks, Remark 8.4.9 the functor
defines a stack in groupoids over (\mathit{Sch}/S)_{fppf}. This would follow if one could show that given
a covering \{ U_ i \to U\} _{i \in I} of (\mathit{Sch}/S)_{fppf},
an group algebraic space H over U,
for every i a principal homogeneous H_{U_ i}-space X_ i over U_ i, and
H-equivariant isomorphisms \varphi _{ij} : X_{i, U_ i \times _ U U_ j} \to X_{j, U_ i \times _ U U_ j} satisfying the cocycle condition,
there exists a principal homogeneous H-space X over U which recovers (X_ i, \varphi _{ij}). The technique of the proof of Bootstrap, Lemma 80.11.8 reduces this to a set theoretical question, so the reader who ignores set theoretical questions will “know” that the result is true. In https://math.columbia.edu/~dejong/wordpress/?p=591 there is a suggestion as to how to approach this problem.
