As Scott said, SAML Attributes and values need not be restricted to those supported in LDAP/X.500 or definable in ASN.1; in fact I think it's one of the points of SAML being XML-oriented to not be so limited. However, I'm sure it's the case that many deployments will want to map directly from X.500-defined attributes and values to SAML ones (we've talked about this quite a bit in Shib), so it would most likely be a useful thing for someone to describe a way of doing this, and this would almost certainly be based on DSML. But I wouldn't hold up the 1.0 spec waiting on this. - RL "Bob"
