[OpenID] More on the Visa analogy

[Pat Cappelaere]

Peter,

I am not sure I follow that legalese.
I though that this was the purpose of working things through the OIDF.
As an example, I do receive funds from US government agencies to  
demonstrate OpenID technology and how it can apply to a service  
oriented architecture for the REST of us :).
What else do you want me to do?
Pat.
