ain't no party like a relying party #7

There are a couple times prospective stakeholders are listed -- i.e., "needs of the user, the developer, and the identity provider" and "to enable interoperability between user agents, developers, and identity providers." -- that seem to omit the relying party. Maybe developer was meant to encompass the RP? I dunno but user agents, IDPs and SPs all have developers. Relying parties are fundamental to federated authentication and need to be given first class consideration.

I've updated this to "All work items from this community group must consider the needs of the user as well as the developers and operators for relying parties and identity providers"
