Subject: Possible Errata in saml-profiles-2.0-os


Section 8.1 of  SAML 2 Profiles state:

The Basic attribute profile specifies simplified, but non-unique, naming 
of SAML attributes together with
attribute values based on the built-in XML Schema data types, 
eliminating the need for extension schemas
to validate syntax.

But we later find that:

[quote]
(1699-70)

The schema type of the contents of the <AttributeValue> element MUST be 
drawn from one of the
types defined in Section 3.3 of [Schema2].
[quote]

This seems to be in error. Section 3 of [Schema2] defines the "Built-in 
Datatypes" and Section 3.3 is one
specific sub-section within it (defines "Derived Datatypes").  With the 
current language both "Date" and "anyURI"
are excluded; I somehow do not believe this was the original intent.

PROPOSAL:
replace lines 1699-70 with:
The schema type of the contents of the <AttributeValue> element MUST be 
drawn from one of the
types defined in Section 3 of [Schema2].
