[RSP] I don't feel you should delete the existing doc's.  The repository
should keep all files as they were loaded.

[RSP] As of rev -11, you renamed the profile from
sstc-saml-x509-authn-attrib-profile-draft-10 to
sstc-saml2-profiles-x509-draft-11.

I would go back to the old name and create a rev-11 based on the
con-call discussion. Then, for the new grid-specific deployment profile,
I would choose a different unambiguous name.   

If we are thinking of adding various "deployment profiles" (e.g. this
one, grid), then perhaps we should create a name structure that reflects
their purpose.  It might help eliminate confusion with other profile
documents we already have. 

Suggestions?
