OpenSAML user discussion

[Chad La Joie <>]

We are currently working on a message encoder/decoder concept.  Encoders 
would take SAML messages (request/responses) and give some additional 
data would appropriately pack them for transport.  This may include 
things like special signing, create SOAP envelopes, base64 encoding, 
etc.  Decoders would do the opposite.

These things won't offer any IdP/SP functionality, you still have to 
figure out how to answer requests and compose responses, these just help 
you do the message packing once you know what you're doing.
