[OpenID] Google OpenID IDP is now live

[Steven Livingstone-Perez]

And if all else fails, even using AX to manage your language preference.

 

The RP will surely be in your language anyway, so as long as they localize
the "log in" part then the OpenID they enter can surely be used as a hint as
to the language things should be presented in to the user (even prior to
them actually being authenticated).

I'm not really sure of the whole point to the proposal anyway; isn't that
what the HTTP Accept-Language header is for?

I agree.  We already have a standard for languages.  Why do these protocols
need to tack another one on at this layer?  If browsers don't expose a
language preference for easy enough access for public kiosks, etc., let's
get the browsers to fix it.

The language prefs is just a proposal at this point.
