Eve, <sophistry> The problem with being logical, consistent and pure in this case is that it ignores reality and results in saml conformant code not being as useful as current proprietary products. </sophistry> I'm mainly thinking of resource names which are read off the wire by saml components as written by non-saml components. I'm not sure if the namespace case is the same, but it clearly has less precedent than the resource URI case. Stephen. "Eve L.
