SREG's Privacy Policy URL

Chris,

I agree that a WG on RP Discovery to define this is a start.

It probably needs to wind up in the individual specs over time though.

This would likely be in the RP's XRD rather than site meta as work on  
the spec is going.

SiteMeta will not be signed so from an integrity point of view and to  
support return_to delegation and other things people are keen on the  
RP's XRD/S is the correct place to put it.

XRDS and XRD are quite different from a a syntax point of view.

We need to get something done for XRDS per your suggestion or  
something similar, then sort out the long term refinements for XRD.

Not to put too fine a point on this but is there a way we can agree on  
something in less than a year?

Your proposal for XRDS, will likely work just fine for people wanting  
to move to AX from SREG.

It breaks nothing,  I don't see why we shouldn't make something like  
this available quickly for those that want a lightweight solution for  
the missing AX functionality.
