I shouldn't have used the word "completely".

What I mean is that the interaction with the user is external to the
basic introduction/enrollment components. I believe that if we do our
job correctly we'll be able to identify clearly where/when a human
enters this information without making any requirements about the actual
protocol or field types. 

Thus requirements for humans to be able to enter OOB identifier
information exist but not enforced/required.
