Foster, while this is not a technical requirement
of the Shib software for an institution to join a federation, it will be
a blocker for institutions that try to deal with information providers
w/o joining.  I imagine that some vendors will not want to, or maybe
not be able to, deal with institutions not in a federation. 

I would say leave the requirement in,
and if we think it necessary, put a footnote in indicating that an institution
can do this w/o a federation, but that not all vendors are equipped to
deal with this situation.

Andy, this is a great start to the document.
 This IS what I was expecting.  Thanks for working on this.

Dave

could someone define this term for me: "shib wayfless url from 
Information Provider", and give an example?

thanks!
