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

[John Panzer]

Santosh,

To tell you the truth, I did not understand your prior objections (and 
the discussion has morphed a lot so it's difficult to understand the 
current state of your objections).  I also don't understand your 
assertion below "if you want to buy..." and how it connects to your 
prior objections.  Note that I'm not asserting that your objections are 
wrong, just that I don't understand them.  I suspect there are lot of 
people in the same boat as I am.
