I did see that come in, and was going to look into it more deeply tonight;
if it is -- as it appears to be -- a framework for globally federated
identification/authentication, then it will probably hit the same walls
(of theory, not merely implementation) which other earlier attempts
have hit: privacy and non-correlation being prime among them.
It's orthogonal to 802.1x, though, unless anyone's shipping code to hook
a dot1x server to it as you would, say, a Radius server. :-)
Cheers,
