Moving AX Forward (WAS RE: SREG namespace URI rollback)

[Recordon, David]

Hey Johnny,
I agree that you're doing a good job especially with your pre-draft 5
review message.  Let's continue that way!  There have been things in the
past, not that you've done, which have certainly rubbed me the wrong way
about AX.  Does seem like we're all moving forward though with good
progress.

One thing that I do think would be worthwhile in smoothing more of this
SREG/AX confusion would be adding SREG support to Sxip's OpenID
libraries.

Any thoughts on spec consolidation and seperating policy from
technology?

I think this is a good idea - to add a note / paragraph outlining
clearly the "upgrade" path from SREG to AX.

Not sure what *exactly* you mean with the above, but at least for the
least 3 months or so we've been trying to get the community involved
with AX, on the lists here:

	http://openid.net/pipermail/specs/2007-January/001141.html
	http://openid.net/pipermail/specs/2007-February/001283.html
	http://openid.net/pipermail/specs/2007-March/001385.html

Is there something in particular about the way we handled this that
doesn't seem right to you? If yes - what exactly do you think should be
done differently?


Thanks,
Johnny
