Right, so the onus is on us to show people how to configure their
software to recognize the MDRPI extension. Since the current crop of
software doesn't do that out-of-the-box, we have to improvise. I can
think of a couple of workarounds. The IdP extension that the UKf is
developing is only part of the story.
