Hi,

It occurred to me recently that there was a nice and simple use of  
foaf and openid, where the two could be made to mesh very nicely and  
improove the user experience.

The idea is simply to add a foaf link to the html representations of  
the openid resource, so that servers could use that information to  
present more information to the client.

Now a little more advanced question would be to specify for each  
service what type of depth of access one may want to give them to  
one's foaf file. This is where a little protocol tricks could come in  
useful.
