Re: [security-services] wrt SAML artifact definition
Yikes, this is a big change from how we've been using it, though it does 
hew more closely to the WS-I-ish meaning.  Actually, our profiles seem 
most like "protocols" to me!  But I imagine we should stay far away from 
this.

I thought our definitions of "binding" and "profile" were fairly clear 
and distinct.  Agreed that they -- and artifact -- should appear in the 
Glossary, though.  (I will add an issue to the issues list so we don't 
lose this, regardless of how we define them.)
