So that pretty much counts out Firefox, Mac and Linux on the desktop and perl/python/php on the server. And probably means that it just won't work unless the server is MS through and through. So just like Passport, it's unlikely to work with anyone but the big boys. Do you really think you'll ever get to implement Infocards on ourmedia.org? I think not.

In which standard body would this be standardized? Has an InfoCard specification been or will be submitted to IETF/OASIS/ISO/W3C/LibertyAlliance/? Or is the Identity Gang the standards body? :-) “so you BET this standard is gonna have some traction.”
