Subject: comment on SAML V2.0 Metadata: ContactPerson
Section 2.3.2.2 describes how to specify basic contact information for a person. The contactType apparently can be "one of" technical, support, administrative, billing and other. This means that if the same person is, for example, both the technical and support contact, then there are two ContactPerson with the same elements present in both of them, but different contactType values? Should there be guidance on representing an contact 'organizational role' in place of a contact person? E.g., it'd be nice to be able to express that "the IT department" at <Company> via <EmailAddress> is the "technical" contact. Also, should there be guidance on representing the name of a contact person whose name does not have a natural division into "given" and "sur" names. Is there any chance of having an optional <Name> element within <ContactPerson> added to subsequent revisions of this document to address these situations? Is the value of <TelephoneNumber> an E.164 number (e.g. starting with a country code), or can be 'local' to a country or within a country? Should there be guidance on how additional information, such as a "telephone extension" or the indicator "mobile" or "text" be added to a TelephoneNumber: e.g. could they simply be part of the string, or must an XML attribute be defined for this purpose?
