What about Guanxi/Samuel (Java)?

In the above list, can we distinguish between SAML toolkits and
implementations of SAML profiles?  This is an important distinction, I
think, something that trips up the new user (and me, too :).

I know that OpenSAML is a toolkit while Shibboleth is a browser
profile implementation, but I'm not sure about the others.  Can we
collectively try to classify them, grouped by SAML version?

Should we put this stuff on wikipedia.org, too?
