We would first need to establish a list of agreed goals of an identity system, 
otherwise we will argue on the features without a yardstick. Unfortunately, 
agreeing on goals has yet to happen.

Personally, I think that the identity community is going to wonder lost in the 
woods for a couple years until there is a consensus for achieving goals that 
are NOT met by Facebook or Twitter or Google.
