Just FYI, SPML is a relatively new standard from OASIS that defines the  
interactions between identity management authorities and dependent  
systems that must be provisioned with identity information in order to  
perform their normal function.  It's really just a thin wrapper around  
DSML that makes is slightly more technology agnostic and extensible.
