Is there a list similar to Stefan's that does characterize
the notion of user-centric?  I'm asking about a list of
yes/no questions that anyone could answer about an identity
system such that the answers would provide a metric for
"user-centricity".

If so, can you remind us where such yes/no questions can
be found?  If not, would it be worthwhile developing such
a list?

I'm not asking about the 7 laws of identity; those aren't
yes/no questions.  However, they might be usable to develop
such a list.
