Cool, I was wondering about that.

It just seems weird that nearly ALL of the suplicants I've used 
*require* me to give a username/password (or at least an Identifier + 
password) in addition to the unlocked certificate.  Maybe a better 
question is: What's the point of the username/pass that's also being 
sent by the supplicant?
