We have written our own such function as we indeed call it an “SSO client.”  
It’s what developers understand.  It’s what user’s understand.  It’s what RFIs 
and RFPs call for.  At the end of the day a name is just a name, but I 
personally find the name “native single authorization agent” to be a bit 
confusing.

Let’s think about how this is intended to be used.  An mobile user downloads a 
Twitter client, a Facebook client, a G+ client and some other clients.  He 
signs on once and gets access to their information on 
Twitter/Facebook/G+/other.  Developers will think of it the same way.  It’s SSO 
across native apps.  Imagine if the SAML WebSSO profile was named the SAML 
single authorization agent profile?? ☺

+1. The name will impact potential adoption, foolish to think it won't, and 
"SSO" is a commonly (mis)understood term and often appears in business 
requirements, even though it is often a misnomer or neglects other important 
related aspects such as log off, session management etc. SSO is a name here, 
not a binding technical scope

I still don't understand / agree with the objection on openid-specs-native-sso. 
That's the intent and the primary use case. It will be far more appealing / 
understandable to the mobile app developers than 'single authorization agent'.

request that the name be changed to "Native Single Authorization Agent", with

the mailing list name openid-specs-nssa

but "Native Single Authorization Agent" yields "nsaa" rather than "nssa", yes?



thus "openid-specs-nsaa" ?
