[OpenID] On OpenID 2.0

[Recordon, David]

Yes, in many senses 2.0 grew so large because of the "some
clarifications".

I think in some senses the question is how do you write the 2.0 (or
whatever it is called) spec in such a way that is light-weight and
simple (like 1.1), yet clarifying everything needed so that it is more
of a "spec".  This is where I think things have broken down, 1.1 was a
web-page, it then got ported to the RFC format, and now 2.0 looks like a
real spec.  I think this is more of the "running away arms flailing"
issue, not the content within it.

If you have Yadis, XRI, extensions, and some clarifications then you
pretty much have the 2.0 spec!
