Making it more difficult; requiring collaboration, and (if it came to
legal action) even conspiracy ;)
I'm still thinking about the implications of adding anything to the
OpenID exchange, even if done within AX instead of enshrining within
the spec; default as "these requests may be done on behalf of the
user" versus "we make a legal pledge that these requests will not
accompany actions unless the actual user is authenticating",
political enforcement and tracking of whether given OP's are
following the standard, x=TRUE versus x=FALSE versus x= not even
included, and then there are useability complications (depending on
what the perspective is) that may serve as a barrier to adoption . .
. donning my RP hat I want OP's to make it clear to me what they are
doing, one way or another, so I can either reply with the raw data
(relieving an OP the burden of having to filter out *my* formatting)
or send an HTML-formatted page (assuming "end-user"), but from an
OP's perspective I can see where this kind of discrimination could be
abused and there might be a desire to avoid this kind of abuse.
