Separation of Discovery from AuthN (was Proposal to form Discovery Working Group)

[David Recordon]

I'd advocate for waiting until all of the discovery work occurring in  
OASIS, IETF, and W3C shakes out before we make changes to how OpenID  
discovery works.  I'd much rather make this sort of change once rather  
than twice.
