There were some needs from CM consumers to learn who the current authenticated user is, returning the URI for the current user (as indicated by request headers)
This stemmed from the scenario of how to define queries for the current user, for example "My ToDo list". This could have been solved by introducing "query variables" or some such thing: for example, $currentUser. See http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/CmExperimental#Service_whoami There may be additional scenarios where this could be useful but think it has common potential across other domains Thanks, Steve Speicher | IBM Rational Software | (919) 254-0645
