Re: UI issues for security consideration

I've been known to get on a soap-box about how login redirects like
those used in OpenID and OAUTH, if not mediated by a trusted UI,
habituate the user to a specific insidious kind of spoofing (diagrams
and other explanations can be found in
http://blog.commerce.net/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/apachecon-beyond-passwords.pdf).
  But I walked away from that soapbox a while back and can't be arsed
to create a login to add the scenario.
