Final outstanding issues with the OpenID 2.0Authenticationspecification

[Recordon, David]

Hey Dmitry,
When using Yadis you're able to advertise if you're speaking OpenID 1.1
or 2.0 and thus the RP know which version of the protocol the request
should be made in.  When using HTML-Based Discovery this is not possible
unless the attributes are renamed or a third "version" tag is added
which was not the preferred option.

7.3.3. HTML-Based Discovery

A <LINK> tag MUST be included with attributes "rel" set to
openid2.provider"
and "href" set to an OP Endpoint URL

A <LINK> tag MAY be included with attributes "rel" set to
"openid2.local_id"
and "href" set to the end user's OP-Local Identifier


Could somebody please enlighten me as to what's wrong with leaving those
as "openid.server" and "openid.delegate" respectfully (i.e.
backward-compatible)?


Regards,
Dmitry
