comment on SAML V2.0 Metadata: introduction roles and consuming/requesting

The last sentence of the first paragraph of section 1
(Introduction) of saml-metadata-2.0-os.pdf and the
February 2007 errata is a list of roles.  This list of
roles seems to be phrased slightly differently than
subsequent descriptions of roles in this document. In
particular, "Authentication authority" is listed in
section 2.3.2 but not here.

Section 2.4.4.1 discusses an element
AttributeConsumingService but line 793 of that section
(line 849 of the February 2007 errata) calls it an
AttributeRequestingService.  At line 851 it is back to
an AttributeConsumingService.
