Questions we are not ready to answer, but it is worth keeping a list
- Is SAML the only protocol we need for moving identity attributes between parties?
- If we need another one, say for provisioning and provisioning-like scenarios, is SCIM in the ballpark?
- If so, would SAML & SCIM+ cover the waterfront?
- CW: Protocol for moving... SAML (say, in moving around xACML atrributes) so JASON is more the SAML equivalent I think. SCIM is more a brand of a process in my view. I think there is a workflow ;aspect we haven't touched. Maybe xPDL? and wf-XML?

- If the domain of interest is attributes and associated metadata, is RDF a good logical model?
- Needs checking with developers but first guess is yes.
- Is attribute exchange a first rung on an evolutionary ladder that reaches up to something like a distributed and federated event-driven model of application/service integration?
