Apropos of Mike's message below:

The Microsoft announcement has been welcomed (enthusiastically) by
many in the industry, at least within the range of my analysis.

I created a summary document with references and excerpts from
the white papers:

"Microsoft 'Geneva' Framework Supports SAML 2.0, WS-Federation, and WS-Trust"

Congratulations Mike (Marc Goodner, Kim Cameron, Vittorio Bertocci [...]
and all the others on the Geneva Team!
