[OpenID] W3C TAG recommends against XRI

[Peter Williams]

This is old news. Remember oasis is conformed of those who cannot live under the W3c culture and vision of the world. Anything done in oasis is essentially broken, out of the gate.

Subject: [OpenID] W3C TAG recommends against XRI

In a message to the W3C Technical Architecture Group list yesterday

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2008May/0078.html

Tim Berners-Lee and Stuart Williams, co-chairs of the TAG state
categorically, "We are not satisfied that XRIs provide functionality not
readily available from http: URIs.  Accordingly the TAG recommends
against taking the XRI specifications forward, or supporting the use of
XRIs as identifiers in other specifications".

Is there a view here about whether this has any impact on the current
adoption of XRI in the OpenID 2.0 spec?
