In answer to the UI question below, for the simple reason that you don't
know whether the same password applies, because the standards have
deliberately separated them and there is no standard provided which can
convey the information that in this case, they're the same. You could
perhaps just try the same credentials for each service but that would be a
clear leak of private information if they weren't the same.

it to the two, underlying (and existing) protocols?
