Along with the XRDS types defined on the wiki, does the RP just have to
return the X-XRDS-Location header to point to the XRDS file? If so, is
the RP expected to return the X-XRDS-Location header even if an
explicit XRDS query had not been made?<br>
<br>
The reason I ask, is that I can see a mode for this plugin that is
proactive (e.g. the "New User" experience). This mode would do more
than just add a subtle tool bar but instead would open a dialog window
that says... "BTW, you have an identity that will allow you to log into
this site. Do you want to continue?" (proper UI wording of course).<br>
<br>
One of the biggest hurdles I see is not that people who know about
OpenID want an easier way to login... but rather that we want people
who don't even know they have an OpenID to be informed of that fact and
the benefits it provides.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<pre wrap="">The Identity in the Browser (IDIB for short) project has launched over
on Google Code today:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://idib.googlecode.com">http://idib.googlecode.com</a>
The goal of this project is to produce an open source extension to
Firefox that helps with usability problems and addresses several
security vulnerabilities around OpenID. Ideally this is the start of
making sense of what identity in the browser would look like. In the
future, this could be the basis for integrated support in all modern
browsers if the project goes well.
A couple of key points:
* This is still very rough and not meant for general users yet
* The work may lead to extensions to the OpenID protocol that may take
shape in the form of specifications - more information can be found on
the project page wiki:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://code.google.com/p/idib/w/list">http://code.google.com/p/idib/w/list</a>
* The discussion about IDIB is happening on the mailing list here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://groups.google.com/group/idib">http://groups.google.com/group/idib</a>
Hope to see you there!
