"Hi James, Most of the focus of IGF has been on developers, including development tools. This is actually a reason why there's less chatter about it in the more system-management oriented identity space. This technology is being very actively pushed into our middleware and development stack with the idea that those 3rd party applications that leverage this stack will gain the benefits we've been discussing. That said, because we're doing this out in the open, other vendors can and will build their own technology to do this on stacks that we wouldn't typically be writing ourselves (.NET anyone?). Not all IdM stacks or development stacks are equal and clearly we're building this kind of technology to widen our lead in this area, but in a way that doesn't lock our customers into a particular set of protocols or infrastructure.
