Digital Me One could simply add a digital me function to the browser that when cliked would simply change your proxy to the site (Novl?) that would hold your info. This is of course trivial. At the moment of effecting your transaction you would clik, effect your transaction and then could get out (or not) of that mode (proxy) afterwards. While in this mode the proxy site could approve the transaction with your financial institution and OK the transaction. Morever, combined with Fiondella's idea, the proxy site should not be able to see your complete profile. This will be encrypted. You have a key and your vendor (or other type of site that requires you to have an identity ) has the other key that you provide them, only you and your vendor together can open the vault to complete the transaction. In this fashion the proxy does not have to know all your private info. Obviously a site partnered with a strong financial institution offering these facilities could develop itself to be a meaningful portal. Maybe the Yahoo's of this world could be interested in something like this.
