[provision] Questions...

["Chanliau, Marc" <MChanliau@netegrity.com>]

I'm new to this TC (I'm a SAML TC member), so please bear with my basic
questions:

(1) Is there a name for the framework defined by the PSTC (for example, the
Security Services TC (SSTC) defines the SAML framework)?
(2) In the document called "An Introduction to the Provisioning Services
Technical Committee," there's a nice representation of the other standards
supported. While I can easily understand the relevance of SOAP (messaging),
SAML (authN and attributes), and XML sig and encryption, I fail to see the
relevance of DSML. Can you explain?
