[ogsa-wg] OGSA Primer Newest Latest draft - v5

[Alan Sill]

I am traveling today and tomorrow and will miss this discussion.  I  
do intend to contribute something in this area soon.

I think the direction that has been started with the Express Profile,  
including work to allow SSL/TLS and possibly Kerberos communications,  
as examples, and to allow services to "express" the AuthN methods  
that they respect, and can use, is potentially very important, and  
with some work, might find real-world use case possibilities in the  
not too distant future.  (I realize that this was not the sense of  
"express" meant here, but could not resist the pun.)  There are some  
projects of which I am aware that could use exactly this feature in  
the near future.  SO just wanted to encourage work to continue in  
this area.
