However, I do think that we need a way for RPs to access the user’s data via API, and some sort of WRAP integration does seem to make sense.<BR>

While I'm not about to suggest that we wait for the "perfect" solution — I want to be conscious of the cred that could be burned if we decide, 3-6 months from now, that really OpenID should be rewritten as a profile of OAuth WRAP (let's just say) and that adoption should really hinge on getting WRAP out the door and THEN promoting OpenID v.Next on top of it.<BR>
