Christophe,

Yes, I think the issues you raise are core. We envision ETF as including an 
authentication abstraction layer/API into which authenticators and keystore 
providers, etc. are plugged.

At this point in the project we've great interest is in hearing from 
developers about what they'd like to see in ETF, so your posting is timely. 
I found a couple of postings that you and others had written, but I might 
not have found them all. Any other input, pointers, etc. appreciated.
