FYI - Tony Rutkowski sent the message below to the ID Gang list advising us
not to use the acronym "OID" when referring to the OpenID Foundation. He
seemed fine with OIDF, which is what I use.

Hi all,

I understand that someone is unwittingly doing this.

Bad choice.

OID for the past 20 year refers to "Object ID" - the
"other' domain name infrastructure developed by
the Open Systems Interconnection world 25 years
ago, and used today as the primary global namespace
of digital certificates, SNMP, RFIDs (as of last week),
and various other uses.
