The syntax of the FQAN itself is defined by the VOMS developers, but
they don't consider how it should be published in GLUE, or in general
how it should be used for matching. This is similar to the situation
with access protocol names - in principle they should be defined by SRM,
but in practice they aren't so we have to do it. Indeed the recent
review of authorsiation in EGEE basically endorsed the GLUE model and
will change both the WMS and LCMAPS to follow it!
