Comments on Glossary section

[Jahan Moreh <jmoreh@sigaba.com>]

This my first email to the group after a week of observation.

General
------------
I have found that the glossary has many useful definitions. However, some
are "legacy" and some are not directly related to the main document (though
at some later draft these terms may be come pertinent). It is my opinion
that a glossary should consist of terms that are either directly or
indirectly referenced in the main document. Therefore, I believe we should
have a final look at the glossary after the body of the document is complete
to determine if we have all definitions are referenced (again directly or
indirectly) in the document.
------

With that, here are some specific comments/suggestions.

1. Add the following:
Authentication Type - the specific mechanism for authenticating a principal.
For example, user id/password is a specific type of authentication.

Authentication Source - the domain for the Authentication Authority. For
example, xyz.com is the authentication source for all principals who work
for xyz.com

Authentication Authority - A service or mechanism that provides an
authentication service for a set of principals.

Uniform Resource Identifier - A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a
compact string of characters for identifying an abstract or physical
resource (from RFC 2396)

2. Modify the following
TCP or TCP/IP change to TCP
