Thanks for the quick response, Brian.  I think the text looks great.  The only 
change I'd like to suggest is in the second sentence, to change the 'may' to 
'SHOULD'.

Best regards,
Kathleen

How about the following (which is intentionally similar to the text I just put 
forth for your request for privacy consideration in 
draft-ietf-oauth-jwt-bearer-09)?
A SAML Assertion may contain privacy-sensitive information and, to prevent 
disclosure of such information to unintended parties, should only be 
transmitted over encrypted channels, such as TLS. In cases where it’s desirable 
to prevent disclosure of certain information the client, the Subject and/or 
individual attributes of a SAML Assertion may be encrypted to the authorization 
server.

Deployments should determine the minimum amount of information necessary to 
complete the exchange and include only that information in an Assertion 
(typically by limiting what information is included in an <AttributeStatement> 
or omitting it altogether). In some cases the Subject can be a value 
representing an anonymous or pseudonymous user as described in Section 6.3.1 of 
the Assertion Framework for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication and Authorization 
Grants 
[http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-assertions-16#section-6.3.1].

Hello,

I just finished my review of 
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-saml2-bearer.  The draft looks 
great, thank you for all of your efforts on it!

I did notice that there were no privacy considerations pointing back to 
RFC6973, could that text be added?  The draft came after the Oauth framework 
publication (refernced in the security considerations), so I am guessing that 
is why this was missed as there are privacy considerations in the oauth 
assertion draft (I competed that review as well and the draft looked great.  I 
don't have any comments to add prior to progressing the draft).

Thank you.
