I was referring to this document:

http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/guides/shib-glossary.html

If it were a wiki topic, I would have changed it already. ;-)

Hmm, maybe you're looking at something else, but the one I'm reading
defines Shibboleth terms in general, not with respect to a particular
implementation.  This is as it should be, I think.

I think "Attribute Authority" should be in the Shibboleth Glossary in
all its glory (or the reader should be referred to a dependent
glossary).  In fact, all the Shib components should be defined in the
glossary.  Then we can remove the redundant definitions in the
protocol spec and the tech overview.

I may have asked this before, but shouldn't the glossary be in the wiki?
