    UGRev Get on with it!

    Voluntary.. hmm..
    Lets help people read between the lines:

    "We encourage all sites to use our system and only our system to maintain a membership service based web entity. In doing so, your members must convert to our system in order to participate in your "space". Once you've implemented the system, which is so tied into everything, it will be hard to undo and make the voluntary for the web surfer, become mandatory for the potential member. When enough places employ this system, it will be increasingly difficult to find the services needed online by surfers who do not participate in our system. .. in other words, Gov't controlled single-sign-on and you'll like it, mother ****er, or you won't be able to buy ****!"

    Nyet, tovarisch.

    ETA:
    What the sam hill is an "Identity Ecosystem Framework"? Seems a mite strange extending "ecosystem" (which normally applies to biological entities) to electrons and photons. Another example of buzzword misuse. I'm getting tired and reactionary, but when the language is diluted by making the same words mean different things, communication becomes garbled at best. Clinton was almost right, and maybe ahead of his time when he said "It depends on what the meaning of "is" is."
    We are so screwed. A pig is a car, cop, dinner, female, an actual animal, and more. Random contextual guesswork, and no context.
