Don't you think that :
 . As Mozilla is focusing only on the "login" experience, by now
 . The Wiki contains a use-case stating that "Since he has stored his identity and credit card information on the Weave server, the web site is able to automatically pull in this information from the server."

The problem about forgetting claims/attributes is not really relevant (yet) ?

Note that the Wiki lists those authentications types :
    * Form submission/cookie [P1]
    * HTTP Basic auth [P1]
    * HTTP Digest auth [P2]
    * Client certs [P2]
    * OpenID [P3]
    * 2-factor [P3]
    * SRP, etc? [experiment]

No InfoCard in the list ...

But the most interresting thing for me is : how the browser knows what to do and how to do it. The first use-case contains "Firefox immediately negotiates with the site which information is required for a signup", but i'm looking forward for more information about that.

Again "they" (@azaaza) are forgetting claims/attributes.
What I like is that the UI is in the address bar and therefore not accesible by the site's javascript.
The "logout" link is a good thing too.
