Anothny -
May be your are catching up with your email and have not had a chance to
read my response (sent at 9:20 PDT on 10/15). In that email I provided the
identifier of the draft schema specification. Here it is again:
sstc-saml-MetadataDiscoveryProtocols-2.0-draft-00. Under a separate cover, I
will send you the document by email (just in case you have problems dealing
with Kavi).

Thanks,
Jahan

What specification ? The one that I looked at that was posted did not have
the schema, if your talking about the Liberty document, I could not find
where this was posted to the list for file section, can you point me to
this document on the OASIS site and the IP deceleration ?

The specification has the schema in it. This isn't arbitrary data (modulo
extensions).

You've lost me, I'm afraid. There's nothing "magic" here, you issue an HTTP
GET for an XML document containing the metadata. You get back text/xml
containing the signed XML instance. Unless the URL is not an HTTP URL, in
which case it's scheme-specific. The spec I believe mandates support on the
relying party end for HTTP/S, but obviously many others are possible (ftp,
gopher, beep, yadda yadda).

I see no "end point service" or any bootstrap considerations. The metadata
bootstraps the other profiles (i.e. For a given provider, where do I send
SSO requests?).
