No. I have my opinion, and I think it's generally not shared by most other
people.

That draft is nothing. It is a dead document. And no, I do NOT want anybody
using it for anything. It is not a spec. It should not be implemented.
Ignore it. Read ID-WSF if you want to know what I think addresses
delegation. The OpenLiberty project has been developing OpenSAML-based code
for ID-WSF.

I have a deeper question for you. What exactly is the application protocol
you're trying to support? Until you answer that question, you can't start to
address what role SAML would play in it, if any.
