Subject: ITU-T "pre-published" SAML and XACML specs available online
These were apparently put up online last June... ITU-T SAML 2.0 http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.1141/en ITU-T XACML 2.0 http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.1142/en As Abbie reported in the 7 Nov 2006 SSTC meeting, the specs are apparently undergoing final "editing" (he termed it "beautification"), and ought to be finalized in 1CQ2007. ITU-T (unfortunately) is the sort of org where one typically has to pay money for copies of specs, however, one can register and obtain three free specs per year ;-) (and, yes, I just noticed a note on their site that they intend to experiment with all specs being freely downloadable as of 1-Jan-2007 (likely still charging for hardcopy)) Also, as Abbie reported, the intensive ITU-T process has tangible value-add in terms of spec quality... "They did tasks like ensuring the schemas are error-free, and compared the text with the original SAML text [etc.]..." Plus the overall value-add here is that there is a large swath of folks in the wider telecomm industries that pay attention to ITU-T specs, and thus having SAML and XACML "blessed" in this context will help foster their wider adoption. Thanks again to Abbie for all his work on making this happen. =JeffH
