Just for the sake of trying to cover all the bases:

This line of discussion is based on some sort of larger 'systems' model in

the current specification is only a component.  While that's a good thing to 
have in mind, the danger is that these discussions will cause folk to believe 
they have to specify all the components, or multiple components, before the 
current specification can progress.

That would be a mistake.

Most operational environments are fairly simple.  They have a well-defined 
trust 
boundary and they have relatively few components within the boundary.  Within 
such environments, these other components really aren't needed.  Implicit trust 
and manual configuration will suffice.

After the current specification is standardized, it will probably be useful to 
look for additional components of the intra-ADMD service to specify.

Doing it before that merely makes things messy and delayed.
