Subject: Assertions and query architecture proposal
I submit a document, draft-orchard-assertion-proposal-01.doc to the TC. It's by no means complete, but it's best to start the ball rolling with a concrete proposal. I used much from the current assertions draft, and created some examples based upon PHB's examples. I also cleaned up some of the syntactic errors in the schemas. The schemas and examples in this document are valid, potentially this is a milestone for SAML. This would have been much easier if a complete xml schema had been provided. The examples and schemas may look longer than the ones listed in the assertions proposal and the examples, partially because my proposal is fully namespace qualified and validates. The motivation for this work is that after much time on S2ML and SAML, I still don't understand the work on claims, bindings, objects, roles, and how they relate to assertions. I found the assertions structure difficult to understand and counter-intuitive. I have been pushing for top-typing and use of XML Queries, so I also wanted a concrete proposal. The areas of extensibility are defined in the proposal. This proposal also shows some expected extensions, but I didn't have time to create use-cases and requirements for them. Having said that, I am finding some aspects of PHB's design to be subtle and elegent, particularly the combination of assertions and assertion queries. At the least, I understand the motivation for some of the constructs better.
