Thanks. It's not that easy. This draft is +20 pages longer, and  
there's still more detail to drill into. :-(

Just a lack of bandwidth. The scope of the group should be no wider  
than there are authoring teams to write documents and code. It'd be  
great if you want to put together a team to address the use cases you  
care most about.

I have a draft of how an Identity Agent Application would work, which  
would provide some insight there perhaps. I hope to get that out in  
the next couple of weeks.

No, but that occurred to me, which is why I've structured the  
document so that the Persona URL is entirely in it's own section.  
(Microformat...?)
