and OpenID the <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Higgins</st1:PersonName> project isn’t
trying to create a new protocol. Its goal is to present a consistent user
experience for identity interactions that “just works” irrespective
of the underlying protocol. <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Higgins</st1:PersonName>
is a “glue” project. We’re defining a framework into which you
can plug your favorite identity technology. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<st1:PersonName w:st="on">Higgins</st1:PersonName> managed i-cards OTOH can
“point to” (using the URI/XRI) services that may allow the
user to write/update attribute data about them. To allow the user to do this
we’re added an i-card manager webapp. <o:p></o:p></span></font></li>
