[mdx] kicking starting MDX for REEP

[John Bradley]

I have a slight preference for keeping it at IETF.   However that is dependent on finding people to move it forward.  
I am willing to help in both places.    I agree that SAML is the main motivating use case but likely openID Connect will use it as well.

I guess there's also a possibility that we can rope Chad back in to some extent, given that he's still a TC member albeit now on behalf of his new employer.

In some ways I can see that might be slightly more appropriate in theory than taking it through the SAML TC, as the protocol was always designed to be generic and not SAML-specific.  In practice, though, the reason we're interested in it is for SAML and the SAML TC therefore seems like a good forum to use.
