I'm not sure how one would "visually distinguish" IdPs on the<br>

Per-entity metadata is going to turn discovery on its head, so I'm not<br>
sure it makes sense to continue further down the same path we're on<br>
now.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I can say that the LIGO project has the EDS deployed in about 10 SPs. We could consume this enhancement immediately were it offered.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Scott K for LIGO </div></div></div></div>
