George F.'s ideas that I mention above (about making the RP and client smarter together, precisely in order to give the user a more seamless experience in a context where several protocols are on offer) speak to this -- but this still amounts to protocol work, akin to content negotiation. Exposing such contracts allows any RP and any client to play, giving users choice at the same time as making their experience easier. Nope.

That where the user is. Do you intend to leave the poor user with having to know arcane details about each of those protocols? Do you think users should have a different login experience just because the RP chooses one protocol over anohter? Law 7 is there for a reason. So how about the other end of the wire?
