Difficult to say since as you point out it is indeed a mockup.  In general
where what we have is different from what is up there is because of an
active decision that we made to not stray into difficult areas.

The two difference which catch my eye are:

1) We go to a separate DS page rather than have the wonder "magically
appearing div".  This was an active decision motivated by potential
portability and accesibility issues in the face of finite resource.

2) We go to the login service in the same window and tab.  Again
portability, accesibility & cost were important, but to my mind equally
important is the "same experience" argument.  Throwing up separate windows
(or a constrained size) may be normal for Passport, but it isn't necessarily
so for other identity provision.  However in all cases there is a mechanism
to log in using the current frame (and I have to assume that this includes
provision to get back to the SP)

In both cases because it's a mockup I cannot tell what's expected.  And as
you say, these are minor differences in terms of the overall feel of the
deployment
