WS-Fed and WS-Trust support

Sounds easy enough (but the devil is always in the details!). Is it possible
to add WS-Fed protocol support by writing a custom ProfileHandler only?
Seems too easy! Can I reuse the existing AuthN methods and interface with a
custom Profile?

I'd welcome an introduction if you're happy to facilitate, don't want to
reinvent if I don't have to.
