What?  Not Passport?!  :)  (Just kidding!  No way we want a proprietary
system!)

If we can get a free (or donated!) implementation, I'd prefer a Liberty
Alliance solution as well.  It's open source, and it's as robust as anything
else out there at the moment -- certianly robust enought for our needs!   We
have people evaluating it at work right now, and may eventually be using it
in lieu of a costly proprietary third-party authentication system.
