[OpenID] JISC Access and Identity Management Call 08/09

[Nate Klingenstein]

Peter,

I happen to disagree for numerous reasons, not least of which is that  
the certificate can only have one issuer, while an XRD can point to a  
handful of authority/reputation/federation services that can vouch for  
the entity.  I'm actually somewhat less interested in the distributed  
signatures than I am in a pollable vetting authority.

But that gut feeling is precisely why you should go find a UK academic  
and offer to help them hammer out a proposal for the solicitation. ;D

Take care,
Nate.
