I think we ultimately need a profile specific solution for Abfab's
purposes, and a generic binding that can be applied to other domains. The
problem is that its all being shoehorned into single document. Here's a
proposal:

1. RADIUS SAML attribute (Abfab): specifies encapsulation of SAML messages
within RADIUS messages, per 01.
2. RADIUS SAML binding (OASIS): generic application of (1) for the puspose
of a SAML binding
3. Abfab profile (Abfab): application of RADIUS SAML binding within Abfab
architecture (covers issues such as authentication and attribute request)

I had assumed that (3) would end up as part of the architecture document,
but that's now non-normative so perhaps we need a new document...
