Well, it was you who defined the "security discovery".   The "cred-requirements" as
stated above is the only thing I have insisted on.  It is an integrated
"security discovery" rather than a generic separate service.  Here lies also the "privacy" stuff
burried.  It is though possible that this can be generalized which is a step more fancy than
I initially planned it.  But even then such data are just parts of the message contents needed
to accomplish Shibboleth.  Think I need to dig a little bit more here...

Still a little bit curious about the general view of C-R auth as descibed above.
