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

[Peter Williams]

Working with a formal extension model for the atom vocabulary, why not write
a blog post showing an atom formatted file that accomplishes the same goals
as the host-meta example in the IETF I-D?

 

Why not sign it, in a manner that confirms to the model of signing used in
the resource feed community? Two models of signing seem popular these days:
certified signing (like ssl client auth messages, citing certs), and signed
by hmac (like ws-trust, citing derived keys).

Xrd in XML achieves little that could not be acheived  with an rdf file or
even a HTML file

 

Yes I agree with you. I am also beginning to come to the same conclusion.

In fact I read somewhere that they are going to change the Link child
elements into attributes. Which is just like Atom. You will see that  XRD
can be written as an extension of Atom.
