That's a chicken/egg situation and you have to just pick a place to start.
Declaring the spec final is much more practical than running after IP
declarations.

I also don't think OpenID 2.0 adds any significant new IP issues over OpenID
1.0 (not that I think there are issues with OpenID 1.0).

With all due respect, why take the risk that there are intellectual
property issues after the specification is finalized? To use a nautical
analogy, wouldn't it be most prudent to ensure the deck is clear before
setting sail?
