I didn't say I had any particular issue with it, I said that multi-tier 
authentication and authorization is a really hard problem space that has 
no easy answers. Liberty's solution happens to be articulated at a level 
of specificity that makes it potentially interoperable in a real world 
environment (unlike other more general proposals that I won't bother 
identifying), but my experience has been that when people look at it, 
they decide it's too complicated and look for easier solutions.

But I don't think there are any. I think it comes down to whether the 
use case justifies the pain.
