[OpenID] Promoting delegation...

[Nat Sakimura]

+1

We are talking about User Centric (and Citizen Centric in some
context) Identity.
Users should be able to choose whatever the authentication and
attribute service
they want to use. They should be able to change the service at any time.

There are many things that we need to deal with in this respect, but
that is what
this community is trying to get to, I think. At least, that is my core
philosophy
around OpenID, and that is what differentiate OpenID from other
Identity Frameworks.
(not saying it is the only one, btw.)
