I have, many times.

The SAML Token Service profile and SOAP binding specs do exactly what you 
want for SOAP applications. An HTTP binding spec for HTTP applications would 
be a simple matter, but I believe an HTTP-based token service is unnecessary 
and counter-productive because HTTP isn't an adequate framework for client 
authentication anyway.

The "overhead" of using ID-WSF in a conforming manner to perform 
AuthnRequests with certificate or password-based security amounts to 
probably 2 meaningless SOAP headers.
