<DIV>Opening up the list of accepted IdPs has some weird consequences when
interacting with the government (as opposed to others)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>

<DIV>What about an IdP in Russia or China? Would the US government accept
identities asserted by an entity outside of the country? What about Iran? Before
the revolution? And then what?</DIV>
<DIV>
<P>What about a multi-national headquartered, in, say, New York? That serves
some of its identities from a data center in Mexico? If it now moved
headquarters to Bermuda, what then? What if it was acquired by a Chinese company
with strong ties to the Chinese government?</P>
