+* One BrowserID to many profiles (optional?)
-** On sign-in, BrowserID offers a selection from one of many IDs
+** On sign-in, if BrowserID matches just one profile, carry on.
-** The relying site should offer a selection from one of many profiles matching the selected BrowserID
+** If multiple profile's emails match the BrowserID, offer a profile selector
-** But, in the simple (and most common?) case where there really is only one email-to-profile, fast track the signin without additional UI.
+** Or, if supporting multiple profiles is not desired, just punt to the last profile logged in using legacy credentials.
-* ID management
+* Many BrowserIDs to one profile (not-so-optional)
 ** On a profile editing page, offer a BrowserID signin button to associate additional IDs with the currently-signed-in profile
 ** List currently associated IDs, along with delete buttons
-** No manual email change or edit feature - all email address changes must be associated with pre-verified BrowserIDs
+** No manual email change or edit - all email address changes must be associated with pre-verified BrowserIDs
+** Allows a user to transition between two IDs when a known change is in progress (eg. losing an email address when changing jobs)
+** Also allows a user to set up redundant IDs in case of a change in the future
