The blurb in Danish first is a greeting followed by a request to forward the letter to Don Schmidt. To give a bit more context, the letter is sent on behalf of the National IT Architecture Committee. See the various docs, in Danish, here: http://www.oio.dk/arkitektur/fora/OIO-it-arkitekturkomiteen/moder/210306 There is an 11-paged, solidly argumented background document, again in Danish. I hope Søren Peter from the ministry, who wrote that doc, will make an English translation, because it's very good stuff. For the record, Søren Peter is a _former_ collegue of mine (I left the ministry last year). The IDABC-news story is more or less a literal translation of the decision made by the committee (i.e., the press release that was launched after the decision)..

He does seem to know the back story, so I'm assuming he's correct on this; you're right that Don's name isn't mentioned in the letter.

I couldn't understand the "You are cited saying" pieces until I got this part: "So far our only source for information has been news articles (as in http://www.infoworld.com/article/05/11/17/HNmssaml2support_1.html) about your decision not to support SAML 2.0. These articles may not contain a valid representation of your message, and even if this is the case really their content doesn't help us understand the Microsoft motivation." about an appeal to have support for SAML 2.0 in Microsoft Active Directory. It will be interesting to find out what the official response is. The open letter is very interesting, though it appears to be addressed to someone else at Microsoft.
