#8: Issues about using a AA rather than an IdP at one end

 The document is currently written in terms of dealing with an Identity
 provider, and I can understand why that is so as without an identity not
 much will happen.  However it seems to me that there is also a desire to
 be able to talk to an attribute service in much the same way.  However it
 is not clear that there is a need for the End Host to talk to the
 attribute provider - that communication should be thought of as passing
 between the IdP, the RP and the AtP.  The IdP may need to get a different
 or better identity proof as part of that conversation.
