Title: Message

Hot dog!  You *have* been busy.  I think 
these use cases are a great basis for discussion.  Just so you're not 
surprised, here's what I intend to ask:

 

A-1:  Why let the RA specify 
PSO-ID?  What if the specified value is invalid or non-unique?  The 
PSO-ID identifies the PSO to the PSP, so it must be valid and unique within the 
(ID namespace managed by the) PSP.

 

Even if you let the RA *suggest* a PSO-ID, we 
should specify that the PSP returns PSO-ID. 

 

A-3:  When you say 
"attributes", do you mean specifically attributes or do you mean (more 
generically) "content"?  

 

I'm guessing the latter, since we discussed using 
XPATH expressions to specify replacement of content in complex XML 
objects. 

 

A-5:  Why let the RA generate 
PSTD-ID?  Username for an Account is fine; but I don't think that 
username should be the PSTD-ID (e.g., because the account could be natively 
renamed).  The PSTD-ID should be opaque, unique, and meaningful only to the 
PSP.  The PSP should therefore generate it.

 

Even if you let an RA *suggest* PSTD-ID, we should 
specify that the PSP returns the PSTD-ID.

 

A-6: More of A-5.  PST may 
generate native identifier(s), but PSP should define PSTD-ID.

 

A-7: Suggest using the word 
"Implicit" rather than "Pass-through".

 

Gary
