Dan,
What is wrong with LJ's Yadis implementation?

A little clarification here, since Brad has asked:

Yes: If I pass the initial LJ URL to ->claimed_identity, I get a
successful OpenID login.

Since I'd found a valid looking Yadis document I'd hoped to use that,
but it's not really a Yadis document, so the thing to do is:

1. Use the official x-xrds-location meta http-equiv tag only, don't get
my hopes up from the x-yadis-location thing.
2. If I run across the <link rel="openid.server"...> tag while I'm
looking for the Yadis document, just pass this URL in to the OpenID
login.

Which is completely acceptable. I'd just hoped that LJ was doing Yadis
too.
