Note that an entire
assertion can be encrypted into this element and used as an identifier. In such
a case,

the <Subject> of the encrypted assertion is the
"identifier" of the subject of the enclosing assertion. Note

also that if the identifying assertion
is invalid, then so is the enclosing assertion.

I am not sure what the role of this
text is. Is it an implementation hint? I am specially puzzled by the last
sentence --- I don’t see that it is implied by the remainder of the specification
text.

Presenter

The entity who presents the request
to the authority and either authenticates itself during the

sending of the message, or relies on
an existing security context to establish its identity. If not the

request issuer, the sender acts as an
intermediary between the request issuer and the responding

identity provider.

I propose the following editorial
changes: 

(1) R/sending of the message/transmission of the message/

 (2) R/sender acts as an
intermediary/presenter acts as an intermediary/
