I have just posted a new cut of the md-query drafts. The SAML profile is unchanged (except for the reference to the base spec) but the md-query draft includes these improvements:

   Remove unnecessary percent-encoding of a ':' character in the example
   in Section 3.2.4.

   Removed use of the ambiguous term "URL-encoded" in Section 3.2.1.
   Instead, indicate that the encoding must correspond to the rules for
   encoding a URL path segment specifically, and call out some of the
   more important implications arising from that.  Added a new example
   illustrating these implications.

   Updated the description of conditional retrieval in Section 4.1 to
   make the use of a 304 (Not Modified) status code a normative but non-
   mandatory obligation on the responder, not simply a description of
   what the requester will receive.

The IETF datatracker status page for this draft is:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-young-md-query/

There's also a htmlized version available at:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-young-md-query-06

A diff from the previous version is available at:

Enjoy,
