If we want to go there... ;-) I think all of this is subordinate to the fact 
that federation is always going to be hard if local authentication remains in 
place, and is quite easy for users to muddle through when it's not no matter 
how weird the UI gets. Choice is what screws them up.

I think that is worth thinking about....would we be creating a barrier to 
logout? Probably attractive to some of us, but not necessarily something to 
do lightly.

I think it's ok for certain cases, probably the ones Brad is thinking of.
