15.1 Required Attributes

eduPersonEntitlement is no longer listed as required attribute, whereas seamlessaccess.org just published its "Contract Language Model License Agreement 1.0" that refers to the pseudonymous entity category and lists the entitlement attribute.

Rather confusing. Is the new consultation not aligned with seamlessaccess.org?

246-47"Application" is an overloaded term. In this sentence it refers to the application for inclusion in the entity category. I misread it at first to mean service provider web application. Can you add a couple of words of clarification to the sentence?Alex Stuart (Jisc)
355-57Can you give an example of when a federation registrar would not remove the entity category when a Service Provider can no longer demonstrate compliance? I'd expect that the registrar MUST remove, not SHOULD.Alex Stuart (Jisc)
