Subject: Re: History of SAML Metadata


Thanks to a tip from Robin Cover (and earlier from Peter Schober), I
found links (on web.archive.org) to all but one of the contributed
documents. These links were added to [5].

Btw, thanks to Peter Davis, Jeff Hodges, and Scott Cantor, each of
whom provided historical details and artifacts.
