There's virtually nothing out there that would require you to meet any
assurance level at all to be used as an IdP in InCommon, as this is all
very much future work. So I'm not sure what it is you can't leverage that
IdP for that, say, OSU could.

As an example, I just checked and the wiki I operate certainly accepts it.
Not that you'd care, but my point is that if an SP isn't accepting your
assertions, that's the SP's decision.
