Hey David,
So what where you suggesting?
1) That I should not have posted this on the OpenID Forum? Like it or not
the NO (1) use case for Webfinger/XRD is OpenID!
2) I should follow the link which you give, for which no normal sane human
being will know what to do with? Can you tell me what I should have done
with the link you gave me?

Thanks
Santosh
