What does Persona offer that brings value from an IoT perspective?

The bootstrap primary (which is on life support, with the one hand ready to pull the plug) requires a functional javascript engine to authenticate a user, which is a steep cost of admission. In it's absence you have to implement the entire protocol, and Persona is less feature rich and far less supported than OAuth, and I say this as an ardent defender and promoter of Persona :)
