Subject: RE: AuthenticatorLocale Definition
This is clearly a typo or a mis-transcription. There was a (private? I forget) discussion around changing the name to <EntityLocale> to capture the sense of its use more clearly. I notice that there is a similar typo in 5.1.10 of draft-sstc-core-discussion-01. This may be the source of the problem.
