Joseph and I (and several others) have been working closely with Meebo to
get this out recently. It's a very simple and basic service that is really
quite similar to what Liberty Alliance did before. In fact, this model is
widely used in academia and in Europe to simplify federated authentication.
There are some useful technical distinctions between the XAuth model and the
previous models which Joseph could speak to.
To learn more about this effort, I'd invite you to review these pages:
http://xauth.org/info
http://xauth.org/spec
It's currently a work in progress, but largely builds on concepts that Eric
Sachs documented a long time ago called the Central or Personal Discovery
