...which is all fine and well, and CardSpace is a compelling UI
paradigm, but it's not the only one.

I've talked the Higgins folks and they haven't developed any of their
own UI concepts... I don't know about Bandit or OSIS, but I would like
to make sure that we do due diligence and innovate on user experience
in these matters... I'd hate for open source to follow Microsoft's
design lead... *yet again*.
