Hi Tim,

Thanks for giving a little more details, but could I ask you to drill-down a 
little more?

Could you summarize what these requests are used for, what kind of format these 
parameters have, how easy it would be to map them to x509/saml-like attributes, 
are those wsdl specified interfaces ?

It would be great if someone like you with obvious knowledge of both application 
domains could take the lead to educate our community about how we could leverage 
these existing standards.

In the mean time, I checked the IP-statements associated with these OASIS 
provisioning specs, and it seems that no contributing TC member has made any 
claims, which is very encouraging!

-Frank.
