Hi Nat,<br>
<br>
It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance both in person and
virtually ;-)<br>
<br>
I wonder if you would feel comfortable replying to this email on
behalf of the OpenID Foundation to say:<br>
<br>
1. That the OpenID 2.0 specification located at [1] is <b>not</b>
going to change;<br>
2. The Simple Registration Extension 1.0 specification located at
[2] is <b>not</b> going to change;<br>
2. All future versions of these specifications will <b>not</b>
reuse these very same URIs.<br>
<br>
This may resolve the matter of stable references.<br>
<br>
Thanks so much in advance,<br>
<br>
Eliot<br>
