We would do well to accept the fact that SAML is the emerging standard
to accomplish both attribute release and delegated authentication, and
simply invest our energy to that end.

TLS authentication is already an essential part of callback
validation.  I honestly don't see the value in eliminating the
callback other than for marginal performance improvements.  Does this
really simplify integration for proxy consumers?

At present there's a fair amount of explicit configuration required to
enable proxy support, so hardly the thing you'd enable unknowingly.
This is tit for tat as I see it and gains nothing except protocol
changes in the clients.  Again, we're better off spending our energy
on increasing SAML support.
