<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>But then one might ask, where
is the adoption by the masses of both openid or saml? Certainly nothing I'm
aware of - or better, not many choose to rely on it, except in a closed relying
relation...i.e. I trust my own delegation point, not that of others.<o:p></o:p></p>
