yes. I think that shows that they were really ducking the issues. In  
fact I would say that this panel was worth watching for the universes  
of things that were not said, how they were avoiding the issues, and  
blinding themselves.  Nothing very interesting was really said  
otherwise :-) But then one should not expect too much from CEOs. They  
have investors breathing down their necks ;-)

get that guy to generate real foaf files please. It's a complete  
mess.  It should be good when you can at least to the following.

cwm http://steven.openid.org/foaf  | less

(Then of course one would have to check that it means what he things  
it to mean)
