IDP Logout, text asking user whether or not to kill the IDP session

It was always RL Bob's insistence that logging out of an app should not 
necesssarily log one out of SSO.  When someone logs out of an app,
be it a shib sp or a weblogin sp, the user gets redirected to the weblogin
service where she is told, "You have logged out of xxxxxx.  You are still 
logged in to weblogin as yyy.  Completely exit your browser to log out
of weblogin."

Something like that.
