Personally, I could see a SOAP api as a possibility. I could envision it
looking sort of like JNDI or some equivalent. As for SAML, I don't see
that one. SAML is more focused on authorization. I could see SAML using
DSML for its entitlement data, but not the reverse.

Is it the intention of this group to continue DSML down an
LDAP-centric model, or to consider other directory ideas?
And what about other technologies like SAML, SOAP, etc...?
Or is this spelled out in a charter somewhere, and I'm just
being out-of-place and rude?
