Re: Implementing Federation, Part I

Sorry, I think I wasn't clear! I greatly appreciate the content of your 
blog post.

However, we as a Community Group can publish Report documents. Two that 
would be very valuable would be describing how AP and WF work together, 
plus AP and HTTP Signature.

When I say "these reports", I mean, "some imagined official Report 
documents made by the CG in the future".

Your blog post could provide a good basis for drafts for those documents.
