A subsequent meeting pretty much turned off the OpenID people and the Identity Commons folk (see also <a href="http://vquill.com/2008/09/more-idtbd.html" target="_blank">"more IDtbd"</a>).

Also, the overlap between SAML and Liberty's ID-FF specifications is sufficient to have resulted in the two having converged some time ago as SAML 2.0. I can understand some of the reasons for your scepticism, but in many areas Kantara seems - to me, at least - to have taken many of the steps towards 'big umbrella' status already.
