Further Clarification: LJ has OpenID, doesn't have Yadis

[Dan Lyke]

Sigh. Sorry I opened this particular can of worms. Just so everybody  
is clear:

LiveJournal has OpenID. LiveJournal's OpenID works great.

I love LiveJournal's OpenID!

LiveJournal doesn't have Yadis. Period.

Yadis is just a discovery mechanism, so this isn't really a problem, I  
can detect that the LJ URL supports OpenID while I'm looking for the  
Yadis document and use OpenID as my authentication mechanism. In fact  
it may be worthwhile to do my querying the other way around, try for  
OpenID first, if that doesn't work then go looking for a Yadis  
document, and if that doesn't work fall back to LID 1.0 ('cause I know  
of at least two other people in the world who keep LID enabled  
URLs...).

LiveJournal has the vestiges of something that looks like it was  
intended to be Yadis in its early stages, but it ain't Yadis, we  
shouldn't treat it as though it's Yadis, and I was wrong to read  
anything into its existence.
