Sometimes the problem comes up that an external tool needs to verify whether a user is the same user as on a wiki. moreover quite complicated for the non tech savvy people.
I imagine this would be fixed with SUL (Singer User Login)
Um, how?
With SUL, your user account name would be global. If you had the username on one wiki, you would have it by default on all the other wikis as well. Proving that you were the same person on both wikis would be as simple as showing that the account existed in both places.
That won't help with external (ie toolserver-based) tools at all, though.
