I can live with this. What we lose is the ability to associate
attribute values with the identities and authentication methods
under which those attributes were issued. We can continue to try
to improve this for 1.1 or 2.0. I really think we are going to
need some serious thought to solve the problems raised by
SADWhere, and I would rather have a good solution than a complex,
understudied, possibly unworkable one.
This is my vote as well: something workable in most cases for 1.0; something fancier for 1.1 / 2.0.
Carlisle.
