You, known, US govt defense contractors/workers with some influence on US govt id program managers, the single most beneficial action that one could take to promote FIPS201/PIV - the standard that is - would be to release the muscle-related CAC plugin (binary or source) to the open source community, with BSI API.

Release it the supporting card edge docs etc, muscletool command line for the CAC cardedge/wire-format plugin, etc. Also, release the CAP file for the GC applet, that works well on some popular cards.

This would teach folks so much of the core knowhow, for FIPS 201/PIV, and remove sop much of the mystery. We stop having to read hard to decode pages of descriptions of meta-architecture, and just get back to writing 10 line of 7816-4 scripts that send a few byte instructions for TPDUs, send over PC/SC to the GC applet instances!
