Anne updated the XACML 3.0 SAML profile so it is backwards compatible 
with 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 too. So it's not the pre-3.0 profile schemas. They 
are actually part of the 3.0 profile.

We don't change the identifiers as we promote the status. I guess it was 
done in the past, but today not. Firstly, I don't think the OASIS TC 
process allows us the change any of the technical content of the specs 
when they are promoted. And even so, we would not want to do it because 
of the risk of introducing errors.
