SXIP 2.0, We Hardly Knew Ya

Eve Maler reports from IIW that:

The new news here was that SXIP is moving its DIX standardization effort into a form that is built on top of SAML — he called it a “user-centric profile of SAML”. This is great news, and I’m eager to see how this is shaping up; John Merrells is doing a session today on that.

It definitely is good news. Begs the question, if DIX was to be SXIP 2.0 standardized, but is now to be a profile of SAML 2.0, where does that leave SXIP 2.0?
