Steve, this is a significant achievement. It shows that we're not too
far from the day when metadata aggregation can be pushed out to the
endpoints (kind of like IdP discovery, which is almost second nature
for SPs now that the Shibboleth Embedded Discovery Service and other
such discovery implementations are widely available). I'm not sure if
IdPs or SPs will be the first to benefit from your work, we'll have to
wait and see.

I hope you can find some spare time to document what you did in the wiki.

Thanks,

Tom
