[OpenID] Problems with OpenID and TAG httpRange-14

[David Recordon]

I don't see why changes would really need to wait, if there is an  
interested group of people then lets spin up a mailing list and get  
participants to agree to the IP policy.

The entire goal of having "working groups" and seperate mailing lists  
is to help ensure that future OpenID specs are not encumbered with  
intellectual property issues.  The easiest, and most common, way to do  
this is creating seperate technical working mailing lists based around  
related topics or a specification.  This allows people to choose where  
they wish to participate since the requirement of posting to one of  
these lists is agreeing that your contributions are being made under  
the OpenID IPR Policy.

This list (specs at openid.net) is a great place to identity issues that  
need addressing and figuring out who wants to work on solving them.   
Once that happens, I have no problem helping to make it "legit" so  
that the resulting spec is good from an IP perspective.
