I think this ends up being kind of a philosophical debate with no right
answer. I agree with you that the ideal solution is the external web browser
loading the provider's page so that the user never types their credentials
into a site or window that isn't the one that belongs to the service.

But because these are AIR applications and they're already running in a
trusted environment, it seems like the user already trusts the application
not to do anything harmful and so from a UX standpoint, just using AIR's
HTML component is a better solution.

My 2 cents.
