<br>It seems to me that it would be a very, very good thing if <a href="http://xri.net">xri.net</a> could be brought into compliance with OpenID as soon as possible. Folk might get the wrong impression about the relationship between the XRI/i-names community and the rest of the folk in the OpenID community if
<a href="http://xri.net">xri.net</a> continues to be out of compliance...<br><br>In other threads, we have Sam Ruby offering his excellent services in the development of XRD validation suites. Perhaps there is also a need for tools that would validate the full suite of external interfaces presented by an OpenID site... I may be wrong, but I believe the current issues with
<a href="http://xri.net">xri.net</a> go beyond those that Sam's validator would be able to deal with.<br><br>Note: I think it is excellent that Sam has weighed in to help out with XRD/Yadis validation. His work was very important to helping us make Atom as good as it is and very important in helping to drastically reduce the number of poorly encoded RSS and Atom feeds. OpenID is lucky to have his attention.
