RE: [security-services] SAML is singular
Title: RE: [security-services] SAML is singular

SAML 
(Security Assertion Markup Language) is the name of the 
framework.

Security Services Technical Committee (SSTC) is where, 
at OASIS, SAML is defined.

Two 
different things in my view.

I am surprised by this. This happened while I was on vacation 
  and I guess I never read the minutes that closely when I got back. I always 
  assumed we had agreed to name the specification SAML and retain Security 
  Services as the name of the TC, just as it says on the web site.
