Mike,

> What's the diff?

According to the CardSpace TechRef there are two data fields in information 
card:
.../ic:InformationCardMetaData/ic:IssuerId:  This required element contains 
an identifier for the identity provider using which a selfissued credential 
descriptor in a card issued by that identity provider can be resolved to the 
correct self-issued card. The element content may be empty.

.../ic:InformationCardMetaData/ic:IssuerName:  This required element 
contains a friendly name of the card issuer.

So, in case of CardSpace-interoperable providers, getIssuer() returns 
ic:IssuerId and getIssuerName() returns  ic:IssuerName. Should we rename 
getIssuer() to getIssuerID()?

Thanks,
Sergey Lyakhov
