Issues to discuss this time
===========================
I would like to develop several recommendations during this call, so that 
they can be considered at the 29 May call and we can make official 
progress.  Here are the topics I suggest:

- WildcardedResources: To what degree is it useful/necessary/practical
   to make requests about implicit lists of resources?  To what degree
   can we rely on XACML to buy us some of this, whenever it's done?

- CertsVsPasswords: Do we have a bias about which to support more readily?
   If so, can we justify it, or should we get rid of it?

- URIsForAssertionIDs: What are the pros and cons?  What other methods
   are there?

If we happen to fly through these, I'd like us to walk through Phill's 
latest documents together and capture any concerns:
