Thanks for this link -- that's useful to know.

I think that a realistic authorisation mechanism would have to be  
able to talk to the X.509 world.  But not exclusively: in some cases  
it would be necessary to understand SAML assertions from Shibboleth,  
and probably interact with LDAP servers, too.

See you,
