Discussion: RP Yadis URL?

[Drummond Reed]

+1. All of the "defined algorithms for obtaining the XRDS document" from
either a URL or XRI will be going into Working Draft 11 of XRI Resolution
2.0 starting this week. So it seems all the OpenID Authentication 2.0 spec
needs to specify is that they work against the return_to URL.

Yes. Or any of the other defined algorithms for obtaining the XRDS  
file, given the return_to URL.
