- if i go and write my own www.mantek.org website that shows MY calendar, i can easily go and use client login
- if i create www.mycoolservice.com and i show only MY calendar, it's fine
- if i create www.youhaveclientsservice.com and i want to show GOOGLE account data (calendar, blogger, etc...) on my clients behalf, the only way to do that with client login is that you collect/passthrough you clients username/password to google. Now, this is all cool and fine, if they do trust you.... but, would you give a 3rd party your account info for another party? Considering that this is more than problematic, on security levels, and most likely most customers won't trust a 3rd party to actually take care of username/passwords of another site we put out AuthSub. With AuthSub, you can grant access for a certain set of data for a 3rd party, where giving the 3rd party your account info means giving them access to all data...
Makes more sense? Or did i misunderstand your question ?

I'm curious, why shouldn't a web-based application use ClientLogin? Is
it because you can't use the Java gdata API mixed with the ClientLogin API?
Thanks.
