[JRE] Sounds reasonable. I know SAML is becoming important in the
applications world and it seems very likely that integration with SIP
will become important sometime in the future. However, I don't see the
drivers at present.

[JRE] I would try to attend such a session. One thing I am missing from
the draft is a set of real life use cases - I guess these were in RFC
4484, but something to link the two together would be good, i.e., how
exactly SIP/SAML would operate to solve each of these. Maybe it is just
me, but if you were to explain that in a tutorial it would be helpful.
