Request for consideration of AX 2.0 Working Group Charter Proposal

[Mike Jones]

The InfoCard community adopted this approach not because it was preferred, but because no standard syntax for attaching verification attributes to individual SAML claims had been agreed upon by that time.  I hope that we can rectify that shortfall sometime soon.

                                                                                -- Mike

FWIW, the separate 'verified' field is the approach the Infocard community took

https://informationcard.net/wiki/index.php/Claim_Catalog

They also allow the particular verification method used to be listed

https://informationcard.net/wiki/index.php/Claim_Catalog#Verification_Methods

One drawback of this method is that all claims sent together get lumped together into a single bucket wrt verification

Agree!
If the range of SReg attributes is expanded, however, I would suggest to add phone number (incl. quality as suggested for email) and possibly street+city address line(s). That would make it possible to fill in a somewhat larger part of typical registration forms.

It might be good to apply the quality thing to all of the fields.

One approach might be to add a "verified" argument that contains a list of names of fields that the OP has verified in some way.

However, I think the SREG spec itself needs work done since the 1.1 draft (that was never published) has a bunch of problems. It might be better to do such work in a separate working group; I already have an updated 1.1 draft with some of the problems from the current 1.1 draft fixed that could potentially be used as a basis, though I'll need to dig it out since I'm not sure what I checked it in to.
