Re: [higgins-dev] new IdASRegistry

[Greg Byrd <gbyrd@xxxxxxxx>]

When we first discussed the registry, a few F2F's ago, there was a 
notion that the registry would hold a binding of a context and a 
particular context factory.  Different factories might allow different 
operations/views of a given context, so it's important for a user to 
keep using the same factory in order to get a consistent experience. 

I don't see anything in the current proposal that supports this.  Do we 
still believe that it's needed?  Do we believe that different factories 
will indeed have different behaviors?  (Even if this behavior is subtle, 
such as different ways of updating attributes, it might be confusing if 
the user sees differences.)
