Subject: Eve's proposed AuthorityKind wording
======== Original wording (as of core-05: lines 738-747) AuthorityKind [Required] The type of SAML protocol queries to which the authority described by this element will respond. The value is specified as an XML Schema QName. The acceptable values for AuthorityKind are the namespace-qualified names of element types or elements derived from the SAML protocol Query element (see Section 3.3). For example, an attribute authority would be identified by AuthorityKind="samlp:AttributeQuery", where there is a namespace declaration in the scope of this attribute that binds the samlp: prefix to the SAML protocol namespace. For extension schemas, where the actual type of the <samlp:Query> would be identified by an xsi:type attribute, the value of AuthorityKind MUST be the same as the value of the xsi:type attribute for the corresponding query. ======== Proposed wording, reflecting a pattern -- approximately what seemed to be specified in V1.0 -- of specifying the relevant SAML element's QName (where no extension has been made) or of specifying a complex type's QName (in the case of extension schemas): [replacing lines 738-747] AuthorityKind [Required] The type of SAML protocol queries to which the authority described by this element will respond. The value is specified as an XML Schema QName. The AuthorityKind value is either the QName of the desired SAML protocol query element or, in the case of an extension schema, the name of the SAML QueryType complex type or some extension type that was derived from it. In the case of an extension schema, the authority will respond to all query elements of the specified type. For example, an attribute authority would be identified by AuthorityKind="samlp:AttributeQuery", where there is a namespace declaration in the scope of this attribute that binds the samlp: prefix to the SAML protocol namespace. [Add to the end of the <AuthorityBinding> description (approximately line 737):] This attribute is deprecated; usage of this attribute SHOULD be avoided because it is planned to be removed in the next major version of SAML. ======== We unanimously agreed to this just now, in our 22 April telecon at 12:50pm ET.
