Thanks for the links, folks.

I believe HP's espeak uses (used?) SPKI as its authorization certs, but
since they're chairing the Oasis SAML group that might change (but hence
my spki.xsd query). I also think Intel's open source CDSA has some
support for SPKI (been a long time since I looked at the source), so
presumably they might be doing some stuff. One possible contender
there, the Intel medical information protection project/company,
recently shut down, however.
It'd sure be nice if Win2.5K replaced SIDs with SPKI :)
