Title: Riveting weekend reading

Colleagues - Here is a first attempt at the glossary.

I have scoured the most relevant submissions for terms, and consulted the standard glossaries.  In most cases, I have not used definitions from the standard glossaries, because we need a self-consistent set of terms that closely match the requirements of our domain.  Writing our own is the only answer.

If we don't appear to need a term, then I have not included it.

I have included columns of close synonyms, either approved or deprecated.  Once we are all familiar with the terms and using them consistently, I will delete these columns.

I have also indicated where I think we need to request changes to the SAML glossary.

I suggest that we have a week of email discussion and then a telecon.  If everyone is agreeable, I will arrange a telecon for late next week.

Perhaps, following the telecon, I'll ask Michiharu to post the resulting glossary on the XACML site.

All the best.  Tim.
