I think that's a good idea, Mark. Would you mind adding such a row?

Well, I'm not entirely sure what IDaaS is but InCommon folk and other
folks are starting to use this terminology freely so I think we should

listed some representative examples (Google, Okta, Stormpath) but I'm
sure there are others.
