[OpenID] Google's proprietary discovery extension?

[Eric Sachs]

>> I haven't heard anything about this except from this one article.
In terms of more background on the evolving discovery standards, the best
information is actually on a blog run by Eran Hammer-Lahav at Yahoo who has
led a lot of the work in this space.  Here is a hyperlink which will show
you all the blog posts he has done about "discovery" and he has done a good
job of trying to provide background.

Note though that this work is not specific to OpenID, but instead is to try
to provide a generic discovery mechanism that can be used my multiple
protocols.

If you want to join some of the discussions, here are links to a few
threads:

We do still want more community discussions about discovery, and its
application to OpenID.  While these standards are being refined, we are
providing a proof-of-concept implementation of a next-generation OpenID
discovery protocol. While some of the details of this
proof-of-concept-implementation are different from what the eventual
standards are likely to look like (e.g., we're using XRDS instead of XRD for
discovery documents, and are using temporary namespaces), we believe all the
necessary pieces are there.  For nitty gritty details, see
