A chance to make changes to the AttributeFilter language Element names, and a request.

After our discussion on Friday, I looked at removing the need for the saml
and basic name spaces in an attribute filter definition. IDP-808
It turns out that this is pretty simple so I have been ploughing through it.
I realized as I did this that this is the opportunity to remove (in the afp:
namespace) all those Element names we deprecated in V2
(AttributeIssuerAnything, AttributeRequesterInEntityGroup and so on), so I
have done that. I have also removed all the (unsupported) code to parse
References in the Booleans.
However we also have the one-off opportunity to change the names of any of
the PolicyRules or Matchers which used to live in the saml: and basic:
namespace.
Are there any changes which we wish we had made 10 months ago but didn't?
If so now's a good time to say so.
And a related request: If anybody would like to
a) Review the afp schema as it now is
(idp-schema/src/resources/schema/shibboleth-afp.xsd) and/or
b) Think about an xslt that will convert an old style (three namespace)
filter file to a new style (one namespace) one (ignoring the deprecated
functions)
I'd appreciate it.
