this code leverages SWF to allow an IDP to make an "access control" 
decision as to whether a user is authorized to access a particular SP. 
The plan was to use the code in conjunction with accessing SAML-enabled 
GOOGLE. Yes, access control at the IDP is wrong. Please pass this msg on 
to google ....

I'm wondering if someone from UNICON might offer an opinion as to 
whether the SWF addition would allow local custom code to run at the 
very end of the profile handler ? After the point when the profile 
handling code would need to recover the user identity ?
