IMO the core problem with OpenSC is a that all cards seem to require
a tweak, profile or similar.   For government IDs which are driven
by politics rather than reason there is no problem to solve; the
governments simply have to pay the price for demanding "uniqueness".

For non-government tokens like the excellent Feitian Epass2003
I would consider another approach: Updating the firmware to
emulate PIV so that we can put the middleware aside once and
for all.  That is, HW vendors should qualify their products
against middleware rather than running never-ending projects
that only creates frustration and exuberant costs.
