I don't think I said device or mobile specific, I said it solves a problem for
mobile industry by solving the scenario mobile folks submitted.
LEC is no way tied to a mobile only use case or scenario.
Regarding web services profiles for "newer, smarter devices" or similar
functionality in PCs , there are some draft specifications available from
standardization forums and groups of individual companies.
I am not sure how it relates to SAML 2.0, but maybe I am missing a point.

Metadata discovery itself is not addressing the IDP discovery problem, but
how to find metadata about specific IDP or SP you are "talking" to.
