Right. And he wants OpenID, as "OpenID," to start enforcing this. Which
isn't going to happen because the OpenID brand isn't about that. Something
else -- "OpenYetSecureID" or such -- could be the name for OpenID "done
right" from the security perspective.

I am not in a position to do anything other than pose the questions if the
two resulting conversations, "What exactly is the Secure OpenID BCP" and
"What do we call it?" are proper traffic for this list.  I'm only here
because something earlier in the thread triggered a filter that routed the
message into a folder i regularly look at; I'm glad Shade was able to use
today's new .sig constructively, it's selection as a .sig was due to a
decision made prior to entering this discussion (FMTYNTK, yeah)

Ciao

Dave
