Hans,

I see what you mean now, after reading some more about IDSec, about being
broader in scope than Flysolo. Clean ideas in IDSec; I'd only suggest
working hard to keep it as simple as it is now.

If only the documentation for Flysolo were available, some of its ideas
might be useful. As it is, you'd have to look through the header files
(at http://sf.net/projects/flysolo) to piece together the profile query
and storage APIs. 

(For the record, and since clear information about Flysolo is hard to
come by these days, Flysolo is more general than single-login -- it
extends that idea to arbitrary information, silently requested by a
website through an <embed>'ed query and responded to according to a
user's configuration. The mechanisms are tuned a little towards
automagically filling in html forms. Flysolo provides two libraries: one
for processing these embedded queries and one for processing a stored
user profile. Implementation details, such as filling in a form, are left
out.)

Cheers!
