It has it's own pitfalls, like consent not being a founding design goal, but considering the alternatives it's only five steps forward one step back. That aside, it would indeed be usable, but the realist in me sees that profit motives will cause a NIH-syndrome-like result. Ten years late since X-road was created and extra ten years late due to reimplementing and five times over the budget. I have higher hopes that eIDAS and ASIC-E will gain adoption, those could significantly reduce the absolute pain in the ass that is dealing with some parts of Europe and their paper and fax-based bureocracy. (No, a faxed signature or a gas bill is not a valid method of identifying someone)
