While Congress argues over which cronies get trickle-down money for huge IT projects that never work, the "next" -- a serious alternative -- is rolling out in cyberspace where there are standards and capital, not just the lies and theft, fraud and debt that legislative sham and patronage consist of.
Virtually every firm of any consequence at the "Web Services" level of technology has agreed to support admiralty-type "Laws of Identity".
