Interesting; this could potentially solve a pain point for me. I run a small set of services for some research collaborators and have been phasing out passwords, so users are authenticated solely via their public keys. That works for most classic "Unix server" stuff. But for the use-case of a remote GUI for scientific computing, the classic solution of network-transparent X is gradually losing out to a more iPython-style solution of a browser front-end. In which case I need to authenticate the same people in their browsers, and it'd be nice to do it via the same public keys.
