<p class=MsoPlainText>"Using i-names with CID validation and trusted
resolution you can authenticate a user via OpenID and then access a service that
they have in their XRDS (with the CID as the primary key) with a very high
level of confidence that the service is truly related to, or providing
information about the entity that authenticated. (Assuming that you trust the
service, but that’s a whole other issue)."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>That “confidence” discussion helps
contextualize for me the background to protocol element discussion we are
having. It also helped me see why the LiveID and live.com sites are so heavily
into CIDs for service integration, permalinks and in the example cardspace
integration. <a
