Just bumping this thread - I think this might have fallen on the 
way-side; certainly lost track of it myself after returning 
home/holidays.

However I noticed that this ticket 
(https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3080) now has an RFE tag - 
don't _believe_ that was there when I started working on it in late 
November.  I believe the whole design doc conversation was going on 
around then. I assume I'll need to start one for this?

Thanks!
