Simo,

This is rfc6030
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6030

The main point of the project is to allow loading token data that comes
in a from of XML file in the different destinations.
For IPA the value would be the ability to support 3rd party hardware OTP
tokens

The work would be to create a library that would allow processing an XML
file and storing data in a provided back end. One back end we care about
- LDAP, but in future other people should be able to add other back ends
if they need to.

Petr Welcome!

Our OTP schema is defined here: http://www.freeipa.org/page/V3/OTP
I think this is a good start.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Nathaniel,

I might make sense for you and Petr to work more closely in this area.

Nathan,

You might want to keep an eye too.
