IDP logout.jsp

The two are orthogonal. A session will always be created, it may not
always be honored. A PreviousSession handler is necessary to honor any
session that might exist.

If you want to kill the user's session with the IdP, then you need to kill
the cookie. It's brute force, not officially supported, but it works.

Then you put up a page with both the blink and marquee tags telling the
user to close their browser. And hope.
