IMHO that's the real value of edugain. The LIGO SPs would appear in the 
edugain aggregate, and (hopefully) IDPs around the world would now be 
using metadata that included the LIGO SPs. And, of course, the inverse 
is also true -- the Brown IDP would now be trusted by SPs operated by 
VOs based in the EU.

I seem to remember that John's been asking "where's the value?". IMHO 
the previous paragraph describes it .....
