Liberty markets itself to businesses because, well, we don't buy stuff like
that and their members include a lot of software companies. Kind of sensible
on their part. Liberty itself is beginning to understand that adoption of
any infrastructure spec requires broad availability, which is why they're
starting to seriously look at open source as a complement to what the member
companies might do.

My statement about fighting wasn't about Liberty anyway, it's the workshop
that Tom was talking about, or more precisely the activities going on around
them. Some of it is really good discussion, but a lot of it is "my
protocol's easier than yours". Oh well.

All I'm prepared to say about Liberty WSF is already in the Wiki, I think.
The project is mapped out to version 2.0 and that's all I'm focused on right
now, and it doesn't include any web services support yet. All I'm trying to
do is get people working on projects to look at what's out there.
