Just to throw in that at the most recent EuroCAMP in stockholm
http://www.terena.org/activities/eurocamp/may08/slides/20080508-simonsen-CONSENT.pdf
several people (from several NRENs) talked about "consent"
functionality as being the "next big thing" they expect to "need" in
their federations (or inter-federations or confederations, eduGAIN,
etc.). But this hardly has anything to do with user experience (and
everything with lawers) I suppose.

Not that I heared anything particularly convincing why we'd have to
collect people's consent for e.g. ePTId or when releasing *fewer*
attributes than before (whose release has already been consented to in
the past), the latter of which being purely implementation specific,
of course.
