All: correct me if I am wrong, but I guess there is virtually no AA 
implemented in any individual partner service.

I am in favor of a centralized service:
- could be a service (later also paid service) that we offer to the

- will be easy to maintain by a single party (Accounts are most often 
created only once and then just used).

Personally I would give FOAF + SSL a try, due to its integration with REST.
