[OpenID] Backwards Compatibility

[Brett McDowell]

Would someone more familiar with OSIS interops step in and explain  
what enhancements you all might have planned for the future of online  
testing, if any?  I know there is some online testing now between the  
major conference demonstrations, but I'm under the impression they are  
far from "automatic" in nature.

If we can collect a bit more input on requirements and goals, we might  
have the beginning of a plan we could collectively deliver to the  
community.
