Interesting... I'll definitely have a look at this soon.. As Boris has suggested, if we can get a good basic distributed auth system for Drupal core that would also allow it to work with multiple other Identity 2.0 protocols that would be very sweet.
As you probably already know, the best way to do that is to use the Yadis service discovery protocol when implementing support for a given identity protocol. The latest release of our PHP libraries use Yadis for discovery. The current release of the Drupal module only does OpenID, but it can be modified to do Yadis directly and dispatch to OpenID or whatever else is available. This is not trivial, however. -- Jonathan Daugherty JanRain, Inc.
