This is somewhat general client, but now is as good a time as ever.  
With more client work going on now that the 3.0 server is out, I  
think adopting a standard way to deal with extending the  
cas:SucessfulAuthentication message with additional attributes would  
be really useful. The goal here is to avoid having every site that  
wants to modify the response also have to dig through client code as  
well.

I think that a decision on a direction might be enough impetus to  
make it happen. I'd be happy to summarize the ideas proposed earlier  
and hopefully it wouldn't take more than a conference call to choose  
a standard.

Thoughts?
