Subject: Status of SAML drafts
I've nearly finished with core and bindings, and my goal is to get these two, plus the glossary, out to the list by COB today in "candidate last call working draft" form. I will try to get the others out by Monday night (they just have edits -- no outstanding Es or PEs, as far as I know). Today I will also send a E/PE status roundup to Jahan. There are a number of items that I'm saving up to discuss on our Tuesday call, in addition to the other known outstanding issues. Here's an advance list: - Are the front-page contributor lists on each spec complete and accurate? Please send me any corrections (e.g., to affiliations) and additions. Basically, if you've joined the TC since 1.0 and/or have contributed significant comments to a spec, you should be mentioned here. - For the acknowledgments page in the back of each spec, can I get an updated membership list from Steve Anderson to use? Basically, this is just a membership list, nothing more. - (This one is probably for me and Scott to work out:) In many places, we talk about xsi:type being REQUIRED with abstract types. But an alternative is to derive a new non-abstract type and then bind the type to a foreign element. Doesn't this do away with the need for xsi:type? - In the core spec, Section 7.2.3, GET/HEAD/PUT/POST semantics are defined by fuzzy reference to "HTTP". Should we add a bibliographic reference to [RFC2616] (HTTP 1.1) or [RFC1945] (HTTP 1.0) or both, or just leave it alone? - In the bindings spec, we say we'll register/publish any profiles that are sent to us. Now that Liberty 1.1 has been offered, we have had some profiles sent to us (though they're also extensions, not just new profiles). Should we register/publish them on the website? If so, should they be listed here as "known to us at the time of writing" profiles? Are there any other external profiles we should consider treating this way? - Now that the WSS TC has adopted our SAML SOAP profile work (as the SAML security token profile of WSS), should we give it a mention and a bibliographic reference in the introduction to Section 4 of the bindings spec? - The final few chapters of the bindings spec seem really out of order. I'd like to move them from this -- 7 References, 8 URL Size Restriction (Non-Normative), 9 Alternative SAML Artifact Format -- to this -- 7 Alternative SAML Artifact Format, 8 URL Size Restriction (Non-Normative), 9 References. Comments? If I have from a few people today that this is good, and hear from no one that it's bad, then I'll implement it in today's draft. That's it for now...
