[OGSA-AUTHZ] Use of Obligations in the Privilege Project Authorizaiton Infrastructure for OpenScienceGrid

Apparently this version of the PDF had some formatting issues and cut of
some of the characters, thus I made yet another PDF and uploaded it:
https://forge.gridforum.org/projects/ogsa-authz/document/SAML-Obligation-Ext
ensions-used-in-OSG/en/3

Maybe it would be easier if interested parties looked directly at the
source document of OSG:
https://plone3.fnal.gov/opensciencegrid/techgroups/tg-policy/vo-privilege/sa
ml-with-obligations/document_view
