Joe - thanks for the note of confidence. :-) It's true - we put the actual complexity code on a separate server, which does provide lots of other functions: synchronization, self-service reset, user enrollment, etc. etc.
We can enforce all sorts of password policy rules, and it is possible to enforce different rules for different user populations (though that isn't the default behaviour). Most of that functionality is probably beyond the scope of this list, so perhaps we should move this discussion off-line?
