Subject: Mutating Attributes
I think allowing the server to choose a value for an attribute other than the value sent by the client in a request is going to make interoperability more challenging. As currently defined, the client must be ready for the server to override (mutate) any attribute. There may be cases where the client application would prefer the request fail than have a particular attribute mutated. I think by default the server should either accept the all of the client's requested values, or fail the request entirely. There can be specific allowances in the specification for attributes where mutation is deemed acceptable. I think this eases the interoperability challenge for clients by limiting the scope of what is allowed to change. -Alan Frindell SafeNet, Inc.
