[openstack-dev] [Keystone] Trust Specification Updated

Trusts are getting built on the V3 API, which will run equally on both ports using RBAC as it's means to control access, as opposed to the V2 mechanism that required the separate ports for administrative vs. expected-user-access controls.

We'll be keeping both ports active in the codebase until we've fully deprecated the V2 APIs, but with the V3 APIs, only a single port will be needed (pretty much like all the other OpenStack projects)

Nowhere in that document does it describe the breakdown between the standard interface (port 5000) vs. the administrative interface (port 35357). What capabilities (or lack thereof) does a user with administrative access have in this system, and can we make that more explicit?
