Well, as one of the people that wrote the documents. We decided that  
having separate documents was better. Thanks for sharing your  
opinion. I have a different opinion.

I don't recall you ever actually telling me to have a vote. You  
stated you did not want to do it and to find some other home.

I wanted to setup the schemas so that people could see how it worked,  
then I could actually get constructive comments back from the list  
and have something tangible to vote on.

I have no ideal what the "formal vote" process on OpenID. The only  
that I know of that is documented is the process for approving the  
OpenID Authentication 2.0 specs.

I'll post a question to the list if that is what you want.
