OpenID newbie

[Dick Hardt]

Hi Tobias

The spec drafts are all here:
	http://openid.net/specs.bml

and Attribute Exchange is here:
	http://openid.net/specs/openid-attribute-exchange-1_0-02.html

There has been nominal discussion on attribute exchange to date as  
people are focusing on the authentication spec.

wrt. privacy negotiation, we had hooks for that in SXIP 2.0 and  
expect to do similar for OpenID. Specifying a privacy policy has  
improved somewhat with the latest P3P spec, but not sure it is where  
we need it to be.

Hope that helps.

btw: this message is likely better on general at openid.net, so I have  
responded on that list
