But why not allow multiple dropoffs for one auth request?
After all, the point of the exercise is to prove they are who they say 
they are. I see no great problem in caching that information to make it 
easier for users who just want to press the back button and do another 
one for someone else without going through the hassle of the 
email+captcha for each dropoff.
