If you operate an idP you don't have to push at all - just do it.

The problem is that there are many ways to get an ePTID. Some
sites generate one on each access.  Others might use a database.
We generate them as needed but save them for subsequent access.
A general solution that works for everyone would be difficult,
so I have some sympathy for the developers here.
