The really cool part is that the integration on the application side for 
pure identity transfer is minimal, especially in java with the use of 
filters.

If you'd like to take it further and integrate authorization to the 
ESOE's policy decision point (and I think it would be a god idea) that 
would take a little longer.

The API itself should be pretty static from this point forward, while 
we've got it tagged at 0.1 in reality its a lot further ahead then that, 
infact we're rolling into production at some sites shortly.

regards,
Bradley
