Agreed, but...

That would break compatibility. Are you suggesting we do that in this case?

BTW, I wasn't actually talking about RelyingParty match behavior for the

I completely agree that if we work out how to plug in predicates into the
RP lookup layer without screwing up compatibility, we should make all
three notions explicit.
