[OGSA-AUTHZ] Fwd: SAML V2.0 Attribute Extensions

[David Chadwick]

Hi Scott

is your OriginalIssuer the same concept as what I and others know as the 
AuthoritativeSource? ie. this is the authority that assigns an attribute 
to an entity and has the right to remove it as well e.g. the university 
that gave you your degree is the authoritative source for your degree, 
and it can revoke your degree at anytime if it was subsequently proved 
that you plagiarised in your thesis. The authoritative source for your 
driving license attribute is the driving license agency in your country. 
etc.

OriginalIssuer does not quite have the same feel as authoritative source

regards

David
