Even More Questions on Identity
Couldn't resist piling on another thought related to identity. I previously asked several questions on identity and figured one more wouldn't hurt.
Yesterday, Novell and IBM threw their weight behind a framework that uses completely different approach: project Higgins.

Programmers can write smart secure applications using these calls and not be locked in to any particular technology or provider.
I wonder what Kim Cameron thinks? Could someone let me know if Sun will join Infocard, Higgins, create their own or just sit on the sidelines...
