It seems to me current design proposal lacks two features (hardware
authentication was yet pointed on wiki page) currently available in GDM:
     A. the ability to choose a different keyboard layout
     B. the ability to select a different session or environment

Maybe A could be implemented through "fixed" status icon, but what about
B? Will GNOME OS login screen allow to start environments other than
GNOME or not?

You said "there isn't a lot of value in having a core GNOME component be
cross platform or cross desktop" and I've learned many new stuff about
"GNOME OS" vision those days, so I'm doubtful...


Cheers, Luca
