I can't tell from the linked slides what exactly will change. When a spec
is proposed I'd love to see at least the following things:

 - A description/diagram of the layers and how data flows between them.
 - A description/diagram showing structural code changes that need to
happen to support the proposal.
 - A breakdown of user facing changes for things that can't be completely
backward compatible.

The talk at the summit seemed to revolve around a few methods and a class
that had SAML in the name. I think some of the recent work is making this
more generic and there is at least one proposal to add protocols. It would
be nice to see why this refactoring isn't enough.
