/**
 * An Identifier is used to address (point to) a Principal.
 * The system uses a variety of actual types to identify different
 * parties. For example an URL endpoint can serve as an identifier
 * for a remote service; a (G)UID may identitfy a local application, and
 * an XML document or SAML NameIdentifier may identify a person.
 * 
 * NOTE: This is just like a java.security.Principal
 * and could potentially be extended to supply that kind of interface
 * to requesters
 * 
 * How are Identifiers related? One way is via the Proxy mechanism - but
 * an attribute (ie. SAML attribute is just an Identifier with a different 
 * name, and possibly multiple values)
 * 
 * Identifiers are useful for policy related to a Subject, but can also be 
 * used to index a session with a consumer application
