I read from start to end and it's both clear and complete. It matched
my expectations for integration, and the "Active Authentication
Results" helped clarify the notion of active flows, which has been a
source of confusion in the past.

I did notice that the Javadoc links are broken, but I imagine that's
just a Jenkins issue.

I'm still trying to get my head around the simplest method for
instantiating a profile handling flow that hands off to the
authentication flow (presumably subflow invocation). It's far easier
to imagine how this will all fit together in a running IdP than in the
context of test cases, but I need to test flow component integration
somehow and it's very fuzzy at present. Looking forward to what you
come up with for the authentication flow; I'm hopeful it will shed
some light for me.
