Usage of term certficate is unclear

            Reporter: Marc Goodner

From public comment: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/imi-comment/200904/msg00001.html 

The text makes repeated references to "certificate". Is certificate distinct from "token"? What qualifies as a certificate? PK certificate? X.509 certificate? PKIX profiled certificate? Does a Kerberos token qualify? How about a SAML token with a PK? What role does this certificate play? does it represent the identity of one of the parties? if so, which one? is it an encryption key for one of the parties?

lines 397-399 say:

  Each RP/STS endpoint MUST provide a certificate. This certificate MAY be communicated either via Transport (such 
  as HTTPS) or Message (such as WS-Security) Security. If Message Security is employed, transports not providing 
  security (such as HTTP) may be used.

Is the sender required to provide PoP of the private key? How exactly is the certificate to be sent? In the SOAP body? In the Security header?
