(Contract Exhange) charter has now been scoped tight enough &#8211; into a
single spec &#8211; and defined clearly enough that it should address any
concerns raised by the Spec Council. Whether the final spec is approved by the
community as an OpenID specification is of course up to the community, but the
job of the Specs Council &#8211; to make sure the work meets the basic
requirements of being something relevant to the OpenID community, should now
IMHO be a no-brainer.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

not proposing to rubber stamp on JAL implementation. <br>
<br>
That's fairly different than what we would come up. <br>
<br>
For example, JAL implementation actually uses XML contract format with XML Sig.
<br>
I actually prefer that, but I was guessing that this community would want
something not XML nor XML Sig. Of course, if the community wants XML+XMLSig, I
am more than happy. <br>
<br>
It is just the use case from JAL implementation that I am bringing in. <br>
