3) Added a new (cross-cutting) Component: "Discovery". Per discussions at
the F2F in Austin (an parallel with #2 above) we realized that proposed IdAS
Context Registry and IdAS Context Provider Registries described in [1] could
be generalized to be a discovery Component/service to discover things
besides Contexts and Context Providers. Namely, i-card store providers, and
perhaps even i-card stores themselves. And other things in the future.

 

Well, what happens in the Context Registry is quite different from what happens in the Context Provider Registry, so I think there are a few things to watch out for to achieve a generalization that can do both well.

But I think it can work, and the idea to put all discovery-related stuff in a separate component is definitely good.
