global sign-out has many issues -- with SXIP 1.0 we had it, and it  
was actually irritating, you want to logout of site, not out of all  
sites, and having two logout like buttons with similar functionality  
is confusing ... I can go into more details, but have written about  
it in the past

Using your IdP from a public computer has many risks, and the IdP  
should take extra precaution in how it works with users on public  
computers.
