Well, the original standards worked like that, a set of documents submitted as one standard. We never did an overview in the sense you mean it, so that would be new. I suppose in some sense, core was meant to be the intro document, but I suspect for lots of reasons we need something else. Right now, I'm focused on the work of just getting the new drafts in place. >If each is considered a stand-alone spec however - that is, if SAML >2.1 Bindings could become an OASIS Standard all by itself - then the >current rules call for it to have its own conformance section. I don't think we'd be doing that for any work products we did for 2.1 itself. >I can take up the question of having a conformance CS document that >all other CSes would normatively reference. It is an interesting idea >& I can see pluses and minuses to it worth thinking through. Well, it's what we did before, that's all. The main reason was that for the most part you can't talk about SAML conformance other than at the profile level. The rest is too generic. -- Scott
