I guess so. The test I would apply is: "If the basic protocol makes it easy
to layer on -- in a fashion that will be intereoperable by all RPs and IdPs
that support it", then yes, it's okay to let it be layered on.

If the basic protocol makes it tricky to implement, and thus not likely to
be interoperable between the RPs and IdPs that want to do it, that's not
okay.

Does that help?
