Shibboleth Developers

Our colleague Simon Leinen made us aware of a new Internet draft
(published last week) with the title: "PingPong IdP Discovery Protocol"
http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-efazendin-pingpong-idp-discovery-00.txt
Read the title and then guess who is behind this draft ;-) ?

It proposes a profile for figuring out a user's Identity Provider based
on Javascript, IFRAMES and cookies.

Although I usually don't like IFRAME-based solutions and although there
are also some scalability issues, I'm interested to read what others
think about it. Could this become a possible feature of the IdPv3?

I could see this as an extension to the embedded Discovery Service.
However, this would of course require wide adoption on the IdP side.

Kind Regards
Lukas
