[cas-dev] About CAS schema

[Scott Battaglia]

Bruno,

Though a schema exists we don't actually use it within the CAS server or
clients.  If you modified the CAS server responses to include additional
information it should not cause any problems (as long as the clients don't
do any wacky parsing).

We have no plans to officially extend the CAS protocol any more and are
looking at supporting more standard protocols (i.e. SAML 1.1).
