Correct.  Any branding of identifier would have to somehow be
per-identity, since it would be wrong if, when a Stanford user was
obtaining a credential for MIT, they were prompted for a SUNet ID.

I've seen other proposals about branding that don't use names but instead
use pictures or some other differentiator per identity.  The branding I
don't think is a significant feature for us; I just wanted to note it in
my previous note to say that I can see where the desire is coming from.
