    Umm... I'd like to order one new identity, supersized. Preferebly one with Bill Gates bank account and Hugh Hefners mansion.

    Oh wait... this doesn't serve identities?

    .
    IIRC - there *are* centralized repositories, it's just that it's not a single repository.

    IE: You sign up with Sony, and get to use that authorized trust ID with Sony's partners, deciding which of Sony's partners get what level of information.

    So Sony or some other big mean corporations will own your ass instead of Microsoft or Sun.

    Feel better now?

    Just what I need - software to tell me who I am.

    Server: You are number six.
    Me: I am not a number, I am a free man!
    Server: Haven't read /. lately, huh? You are number six.
    Me: Fine, number six it is. Who's number 1?
    Server: That would be telling. You, however, are number six ...
