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

[Peter Williams]

Out of interest, can I now leave an openid-authenticated comment on your blogspot forum, using my gmail id?

I have a vanity openid whose xrd addresses both gmail and myopenid. Being openid, blogspot gets to choose which to use. Presumably it would prefer the google op, given the relative ease of resolving rp-op trust models when both entities are within the same corporation.

This is not so funny if you consider the fact that this is "all you have".
And is all the momemtum you have.

The way things stand as of now. This document "IS" in effect your webfinger
protocol. So you will be referencing back to this document!

A lot. After the initial euphoria the webfinger protocol seems to have lost
steam after the 7th of May. As a matter of fact I didn't have to come up
with this document if they were doing something about it.

This whole thing is about "momemtum" whichever way you want to do it i am
ready to help as long as there is momentum.

So what can you do for building some momentum here?
