proposals in the past.
Yes, an evolution of those approaches.  For those who don't know that
reference, here are some pointers from some IIW sessions two years ago

Early UX notes on browser
integration<https://sites.google.com/site/oauthgoog/UXFedLogin/BrowserHint>
for
federated login (especially IDP discovery) [See IIW 2009b
notes<http://docs.google.com/View?id=ajkhp5hpp3tt_66gf25szcp>
]

An early draft proposal for a Personal Discovery
Service<https://sites.google.com/site/oauthgoog/Home/pds> to
bootstrap IDP discovery without a browser extension
A draft of a Central Discovery
Service<https://sites.google.com/site/oauthgoog/UXFedLogin/central-discovery-service>
specific
to federated login is also available (or see slide
version<http://docs.google.com/present/view?skipauth=true&id=ajkhp5hpp3tt_67dvg24phj>
)


By leveraging modern browsers we think the security/privacy/performance can
be improved, and it fits nicely with the account chooser to improve the user
experience.
