RE: Challenge-Response/OBI & S2ML (Anders Rundgren's suggestion )

I for one would like to see a clear statement of what you are proposing.

Since the TC just had its first meeting and there was no technical content
discussed, I don't see how anybody can claim that such and such is in or out
of the spec at this point. In my opinion, as we agreed, S2ML is one of the
inputs to this work, but as of today, the TC has NO documents.

I also don't see how you can answer a question like Anders' without agreeing
on some use cases. If we agree to support a use case that requires his
whatever it is, them we must support that feature. 

Conversely, as a general principle, we should not put anything in the specs
that is not required by some use case.
