No. Identifiers usually are created for some purpose other than making claims. Although there are specialized functions that solely concern claims, those functions are typically (or at least often) part of some organization or effort that is focused on other goals. AOL created identifiers for enabling online access, for use in instant messaging, etc. The more general role of an identifier came later. Same for use of 'email identifiers'. And so on. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
