 Are you suggesting we clone the Passport authentication interfaces in an
 Apache module? That wouldn't be too hard - but then what do we actually
 authenticate against?

an Apache Module to let webvendors add a server side script for ecommerce auth 
as an alternative to using a custom form for the purpose of having Apache do 
the footwork of looking for the users key on their local machine or remote auth 
server. and in a form that had lets say a 'payment type' dotGNU could be listed 
right next to Visa.
