Paul -- great work!  
+1 to the other comments in the thread about republishing and the fact it probably happens.

My perception of how campus' operate is that some do metadata distribution and may not sign the 'internal' set of metadata. I'm not sure it's fully realized the possible risk or potential for undetected metadata manipulation being borne in this model and why signing the metadata aggregate or MDQ element matters to mitigate such a risk.  Maybe my concern is misplaced? 

Having a component like this makes it a LOT easier to do the right thing..

Chris.

    It took me a bit to get it into a public repo, but if any of you want to try out an MDQ server with InCommon global metadata, it's as easy as: "docker run -d -p 443:443 tier/mdq-appliance"    :)
    
    It's an centos-based apache server that serves up InCommon metadata processed with the Metadata Aggregator and signed with a key generated when you first run the container.
