I think you're right here.

This will become increasingly necessary as identities implement more
authorization techniques, and particular services need to verify that the
identities have been verified, say, without using a cleartext password.

However, in the interests of preserving backwards compatibility, maybe have a
getExtendedPerspectiveRequest() that had the additional argument[s] that you
need.

Is there anyone out there who is currently using this API who has a reason not
to change their code?
