Building identity on top of OAuth 2.0?

[Chris Messina]

I'm excite to see this proposal, as it represents something concrete to
discuss and debate. I'd like to see how this strawman proposal can be used
within the technical working group as a point of inspiration.

I'd also point out, for completeness, that OpenID Connect does not
necessarily represent what OpenID v.Next should look like, but instead is
more like a profile of several technologies strung together to address the
need of a "connect" API pattern with decentralization at its core (a feature
that I consider absolutely essential to its success and architecture).

Looking forward to feedback on this.
