I understand the need to get OpenID Login working in time....<br>

respect to whether it’s appropriate to be using RPX
on the OIDF website or not, it appears that there has been a diversity
of
opinion. Some of the membership has applauded the improvements in ease
of
use and reliability, some have concerns about using any vendor products
on the official
OIDF site. <br>

<br>
The login facility is for foundation members on the official OpenID
site and I suggest that it should be neutral as possible. It endorses
currently AOL, Google and Yahoo prominently and to a lesser extend
Claimid, Myopenid, Verisign and other providers. Considering that not
all possible providers can be listed, I suggest that none should be
promoted in a special way. If it is not possible to remove all
endorsements, I suggest to fix the original library in due time.<br>
<br>
Please remember, this is about OpenID proper, no matter how popular a
provider might be, it shouldn't be reflected in such a way. The
classical login was in my opinion the right thing. Specially
considering that many foundation members (well, it's a wild guess
actually) aren't those using the ones offered as preferred choices. My
two cents.<br>
