it's easy to imagine an intermediary who vets identity providers and
publishes a resource that identity consumers
reference to  easily throw up a block of logos of approved providers. Do
such not already exist? Businesswise, there are marketing and
business-model problems, but it's a low-hanging fruit. "We address the
NASCAR problem so you don't have to" could be the slogan.
