By "other" I mean "any company other than Linden Labs".

By "handled" I mean "the entire process, including creating the  
certificate".

By "entirely within SL" I mean both "with no other application  
involved, including a web browser", and "without any company other  
than Linden Labs being involved".

Otherwise, if it comes to OpenID or something like LL's original  
proposal *except* with a client that handled the login entirely  
within the application, using web services (or a hardcoded form  
response) over HTTPS, I would prefer the latter.
