Peter,

Aha.  That makes more sense. :D  That poster's just talking about  
discovery.  You can handle discovery in a lot of ways, and the most  
commonly used one in the Shibboleth world is actually federation- 
centric.  We've been trying to change that, because as the poster  
noted, the SP knows more about its user base than anyone else ever  
could.  It's just been slow because federation-centric is an easy  
approximation for a lot of apps.

I really appreciate you taking the time to clarify things.  Helped a  
lot.
Nate.
