[OpenID] OpenID Discovery for Email like identifiers - Draft 0.1

[David Fuelling]

What do you think about changing the "*Objective*" text to read as follows:

"*The objective of the protocol is to get a users XRD XML file from an
email-like identifier (e.g., an email address, XRI, XMPP-Id, Wave-Id, etc).*
"

It seems like focusing on getting a user's XRD would allow us to then
fallback right into OpenID Discovery 2.0 (or 2.1).   Granted, this ties
"email-like identifiers" to XRD, but I think this is ok, since XRD has a
number of different mechanisms to go about getting the XRD document.

Thoughts?

David
