Re: [higgins-dev] Digital Identity and IContext open() method

["Tom Doman" <TDoman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I assumed that the users of Higgins Context Providers wouldn't want to
have to know details about a particular identity class based on which
Context Provider or Providers they choose to use.  Is this not a
concern?

The provider can require a particular class to be passed in, and can 
test whether
the object is of that type.  Or it could accept one of several classes.
 
This way we
can use "standard" classes without creating a new one just to extend 
something
like IDigitalIdentity.
