There will be a final report released in about 2 weeks. The public-identity@w3.org will be list I use to get input to the draft final report, to join email "subscribe" in subject line to public-identity-request@w3.org.

The browser vendors were of course skeptical of anything in chrome, but other discussions such as Dirk Balfanz's do to auth in the OS layer could provide an alternative.
