Roger,

I'm not sure that "core" disagrees.  They came back and said that we
need to solve WebID.

The observation here is that people keep telling me that all the access control standards needed for interop are in place, vendors keep telling me that they implement these standards and that everything is OK -- and then EVERY SINGLE TIME we try to do something even the least bit different that involves interop IT DOESN'T WORK!  Then you have these interminable telephone calls -- after you've found the multiple experts to talk to each other -- involving dark muttering about obscure subjects like Kerberos configuration and whatever -- and after a few weeks it works.  The essential observation here, however, is that this seems to happen every single time.  This means to me that there must be something fundamentally wrong out there, but I haven't the slightest idea what it is.
