Proposed Agenda
===============
1 - 10:05 Order and role-call
-----------------------------
Roll-call

2 - 10:07 Accept meeting minutes from 7/14/2003  
-----------------------------------------------
Minutes available at [1]
 
3 - 10:15 New Type for RequestID
--------------------------------
There is a proposal in the SAML group to make some of their ID 
elements of type xsd:ID instead of string. The advantage is that those 
IDs can now be used directly in XPath and XML Signatures without 
having to add a parallel ID via the Open Content Model (which we now 
support in SPML).
 
The only restriction that this imposes is that the request ID conform 
to the xsd:ID restrictions. That means that the ID must start with an 
alpha, and the could contain alphanumeric and certain punctuations 
(".", "-", and "_").

JeffB wishes to put forward a motion to change the type of 
the Request ID element from xsd:string to xsd:ID.

4 - URN ID Forms
----------------
The id schema currently in place for both operationID and schemaID
allows for a two point ID with providerID, all of which can be URN's.
When a URN based identifier is used for both elements one can go from a
provider and schema ID to a urn, but not vice-versa. This makes the
referencing of objectClassDefinitions, attributeReferncces and extended
requests complex.  A solution is to either limit the schemaID and
operationID's to simple strings, or always refer to both the providerID
schemaID/operationID explicitly in any reference.

To simplify this we could:

1) Require that the provider ID is always in the form of a URN.
2) Require that the schema ID is always in the form of a simple ID
3) Require that the operation ID is always a simple ID
