John,

I remember the presentation, and in fact my app is built to be a service, 
so it has some features in common with eRube.  I just pulled out my 
binder to review, and sure enough you mention it.

I think I need to save the POST args as user scope though, since I use 
the http redirect to check authentication, rather than a TCF.  Of course 
I need to purge these variables after use.

And (anticipating a discussion of benefits of using a TCF) there are some 
reasons why I've implemented this way, including:
* avoiding method instantiation on login.taf request
* portability to other languages (esp. PHP -- sorry, but I can also use 
Witango's RAD capabilities to prototype for deployment with other servers)
