The policy for one RP does not extend to the other RP's - if the one 
RP suspects that the user's password is too old (or too new), it can 
send the user back to the OP with an assertion for and from ITSELF 
(not any other RP's) that the user will be "locked out" from the one 
RP until certain conditions have been met.

There is a related discussion on the specs list about group ID's, 
some implementations of which could result in multiple concurrent 
active sessions - usually a sign of suspicious activity.
