for some topic drift ... not too long ago i sat thru a presentation on
a SAML implementation for cross-domain authentication; i observed that
the message flows looked almost exactly like kerberos cross-domain
message flows. the person giving the presentation looked surprised
that anybody knew anything about kerberos and then finally commented
something about practically there are just a limited number of ways
for information flowing between domains.
