Kim,

I’m interested in finding out more about what you are thinking when you say ‘I see things in a different light’.

I appreciate from a cardspace POV it is not designed to solve this problem, but surely the problem still exists?

Richard notes on Jon Udell’s blog:

As you donâ€™t have CardSpace enabled here, you canâ€™t actually verify that I am the said same Richard from Kimâ€™s blog.

But without Kim’s co-operation Jon could not verify that the same Richard, presented the same or equivalent credentials using Cardspace. A third party would require co-operation from both Jon and Kim to verify that it was the same Mr Gray. This appears to be the case even if he used the same managed card from an Id Provider trusted by all the parties.
I think we need to explore this use-case further.
