I think this is potentially ground-breaking. I'm not normally one for hyperbole... in fact I have to look it up each time I encounter it. But this idea, put forward by Lance Piper, is very interesting.

I think Lance's idea is a genuinely visionary step towards the way it might work. Identity >

Fair point: I think we have to take that as being 'left as an exercise for the reader'. The value I see in Lance's concept is that it clarifies a distinction between 'credentials' and the wider notion of 'trust based on recorded behaviour'.
