Some science grids have reporting needs, and perhaps access management
needs, that oblige them to know who someone is apart from where they
come from. That need leads to two requirements: one like Steve mentioned
in AU, in which diverse resources (SPs) across the grid need to know who
someone is and correlate their use of resources across the grid, and the
other is to preserve their access regardless of their home institution.

The Bamboo project is formalizing requirements in this area now, and it
appears they will likewise have similar needs.
