<font size=3>Thanks, Josh.<br><br>
Yeah, Martin, you are right. <br>
'Relying party' without context is not helpful.<br><br>
A longer term, that carries with it the context, will be fine.
Given how the world works, it will be shortened.<br><br>
How about, for example: 'identity system relying party' ?<br><br>
Josh, you are right that everyone is relying on the system.<br><br>
How about, for example: 'proffered identifier relying party'
? A bit awkward. But that's OK. Same intended meaning as
'party relying on proffered identifier'.<br><br>
(You will both agree with my prediction that either will be shortened by
many folk to 'relying party'. Just as we have seen 'identity
consumer' shortened to 'consumer'. But we can use a longer, better
term in the YADIS spec.)<br><br>
[I do insist that 'identity consumer' without context must be one of
those horrific creatures from another place or time.]<br><br>
Cordially, Joaquin</font></body>
