Trent, This summer I've been involved in contributing some things to this report. WRT your point about trust frameworks, there is little knowledge about them within the group that produced the report, and it seemed to me that there was more than enough work to do even staying closer to the tech side of things. But overall, I think this is a fine piece of work. Also, I think it is worth noting that this report is part of a broader exploration by the "new management" of the W3C into what areas of the identity, social web, active client, and personal data space the W3C might be able to support and to which it would truly add value. They are concerned, and rightly so, that without a good strategy (esp. for collaboration with others) just wading into the already splintered space might make the situation worse. BTW, the W3C has already reached out to the FSW (federated social web) effort and offered support. On Oct 13, 2010, at 11:50 AM, J. Trent Adams wrote:
All -
If you haven't already seen it, the W3C Social Web Incubator Group recently published it's final report:
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/socialweb/wiki/FinalReport
Of specific interest to this group is their summary of work taking place around Identity:

I'm not sure if it's an oversight or was a conscious decision, but it's interesting that there only mention of "trust frameworks" is in a passing reference.
NOTE: I'm not entirely sure of the status of this report... the header indicates it's complete, but there appear to be some remaining questions embedded in the text.
