Tim,

I am working on the AuthnContext, and the mapping of SAML authentication 

methods to either the AC schema itself, or where possible, appropriate 

authentication context classes. I am working on a new draft of the 

document, and believe it will deal with your concerns as we've discussed 

in this thread.

Cheers,
