[OpenID] Calling for Rejecting webfinger, host-meta, lrdd, xrd

[Santosh Rajan]

I am calling for the rejection of webfinger, host-meta, lrdd, xrd, lock,
stock and barrel. There are many reasons for this. If you have read previous
posts at the Openid forum you will understand that there are too many
reasons for this. Just read the last few threads on this forum and you will
know why.

Here I want to start the discussion on this rejection with the definition of
a "Resource".

"A URI-addressable network document or service".

So If you want to buy the current story given by the webfinger, host-meta,
lrdd, xrd folk, they need to prove that an XRD is NOT "URI addressable", if
they want to ignore the Subject of the XRD. This also applies to host-meta.

So I would like to hear from the supporters of webfinger, host-meta, lrdd,
xrd.

This is not to suggest that I am not a supporter of all these specs. On the
contrary I do support these specs provided we can come with a simpler spec
for 1.0 based on the fundamental arguments I have been postulating on this
forum in the last week or so.
