I won't speak for the WG, but while working on the material, I had been
operating under the assumption this was not an assurance category at all but
a self-asserted AuthnContextClassRef (in SAML terms), just like many others
defined in SAML already. Thus the idea of a self-asserted category to go with
a self-asserted AuthnContext seemed redundant (but that may prove not to be
the case for other reasons).

I didn't actually notice the naming convention in the URI included the word
assurance, and tend to think that may be confusing as a result and worth
reconsidering before this finalizes. Sometimes the obvious doesn't hit you
when you're staring at it closely.
