This property is required, if a web-scale technology is to get adopted in the mostly de-centralized organized US realty culture.<br>
<br>The dominant news-reported statement so far is.. OpenID Foundation declares war on proprietary extensions to openid, and that's what the new board members joined to accomplish. <a href="http://www.news.com/8301-13577_3-9866802-36.html?tag=nefd.top" target="_blank">http://www.news.com/8301-13577_3-9866802-36.html?tag=nefd.top</a><br>
<br>That war is likely to undermine the very argument about openid philosophy that I'd been using to get adoption traction - that organized, backroom realty could keep its necessary private-namespace handling while staying "in keeping" with openid community's de-centralized management values (if not actually "extolling" its values.)<br>
