Over at ZDNet there is an article about the identity issues coming up for Web Services, something talked about on a panel at the first SuperNova conference. Here is an excert:

When it comes to Web services security, I’ve heard this analogy: Right now, it’s like having to get 50 separate drivers’ licenses to drive across all fifty states in the United States. But, nobody’s at the point yet where he or she is doing a lot of driving outside of their own jurisdiction. *

Sounds like the same issues that are being discussed by the Identity Gang, and we are looking to address in SXIP 2.0.
