(Better interoperability than in the early days of SAML, at least. There has been substantial progress in standardising technical trust establishment more recently, i.e. the Metadata Interoperability Profile.) The proposition that fell out from the architecture document discussions was that specifying protocol interactions is a necessary but insufficient condition for ABFAB to be generally useful. For large-scale deployment, we need plug-and-play interoperability at the level of trust establishment. Sam has suggested that we need a document to capture the use of AAA trust establishment mechanisms within ABFAB, and I agree. Josh.
