Subject: Updates to conformance specification
1. Delete line 196 > >3. All Consent Identifiers as defined in Section 8.4 >of [SAMLCore]. > 2. Add at line 196: Conforming SAML implementations MUST permit the use of all identifier constants described in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 when producing and consuming SAML messages. SAML message producers MUST be able to create messages and SAML message consumers must be able to process messages with any of the constants present in these sections. Sections 8.3.7 (persistent name identifiers) and 8.3.8 (transient name identifiers) define normative processing rules for the producer of such identifiers. All normative processing rules in sections 8.3.7 and 8.3.8 MUST be supported. The remaining identifiers in sections 8.2 and 8.3 specify no normative processing rules. Since no normative processing rules exist for the other identifiers, generation and consumption of these identifiers is meaningful only when the generating and consuming parties have externally-defined agreement on the semantic interpretation of the identifiers. NOTE: In this context, "process" means that the implementation must successfully parse and handle the identifier without failing or returning an error. How the implementation deals with the identifier once it is processed at this level is out of scope. A SAML implementation may provide the facilities described above through direct implementation support for the identifiers or through the use of supported programming interfaces. Interfaces provided for this purpose must allow the SAML implementation to be programmatically extended to handle all identifiers in section 8.2 and 8.3 that are not natively handled by the implementation.
