Richard, I've responded to your comments by drafting a new version of the document, thanks. Version 1.1 of the OGSA Attribute Exchange Profile is attached. I also took the opportunity to add some comments and wording changes of my own.
One thing that still bothers me is the language regarding the XACML Attribute Profile in section 4.1. I think the language is too strong, but I left it as it is for the time being, until this has been discussed. I think you're right. For example this would rule out SAML authorities releasing MACE-Dir attributes. The aim here is to facilitate integration with XACML Policy Decision Point, because when a SAML attribute is conformant to the XACML Attribute Profile, the SAML Profile for XACML says how to translate it to an XACML Attribute. Anyway, applications may want to use SAML attribute that aren't conformant to the XACML profile and define their rules for translating them. We can definitely relax the language, and may be use a conformance target here as well, so that consumers will know whether to expect something that they are sure to be able to

Ah, I see. FYI, I have a Windows XP laptop and it views fine. I see the problem, however. The table is formatted in a little-used font, which apparently your laptop doesn't have. The solution is to change the font to something more mainstream, like Courier New.
Thanks, Tom

This section has strange formatting for me - actually it appears as a collection of musical notes (semi-quavers etc).
It is probably just a font which my Windows XP laptop doesn't have and it is improvising (badly)?

Hi Richard,
All your comments are understood (and appreciated!) except the one labeled "ros2". What is your specific comment regarding these standard SAML namespaces and namespace prefixes?
Thanks, Tom

Some comments on OGSA Attribute Exchange Profile v1.0 - not much to say on this as the document is largely based on referring to other
specs.
