Comment received from British Telecom

Rob and I have received the following comment from British Telecom to the
SSTC. 

----------------comment begins-------------------------------------------


As a telecommunications service provider considering the use of SAML for
inter-operator and inter-enterprise use, we believe there is a need for an
independent SAML testing facility supported by all SAML product vendors that
would demonstrate a number of template SAML producer and consumer services
against an agreed set of usage cases. These could be based on the recent
SAML 1.1 inter-op usage cases, but might equally address an agreed BOF
originated set of usage cases. 

 
The aim of such a testing facility is to establish a base product
configuration which

 
1)     SAML product vendors could test against as part of product
development,

2)  adopters of SAML based products could utilise for deployment-time
testing and debugging.
