extension proposal which was motivated by:<br>
<br>
1. Users saying in usability study after usability study that they are
more comfortable with the Facebook-Connect style login flow than the
full browser redirect model.<br>

<br>
And wasn't Facebook criticized for it? Didn't many see a problem with
their approach? I don't think there is anything new with what was said.
Popup windows are generally on the decline when compared to 5 or 10
years ago, why start to use them now?<br>

2. Potential RPs demanding popup UI flows in order to adopt the scheme
as they do not want their users to lose the context of their site.<br>

<br>
For the context there are sessions which can take care of it.<br>

Became a philosophical discussion on issues from user-centric
philosophy to anti-phishing to trust models on certificates.<br>

<br>
A discussion which is very good to have. Why isolate the issues if they
are clearly intertwined and connected to each other? It's like
designing new super-trooper car wheels without taking into
consideration their effectiveness for stopping the car and their
durability on the road.<br>

Reality: The proposed WG suggests that RPs who want to can add a couple
of parameters to their URL requests to indicate to OPs (that advertize
the feature) that they embraced a fancy-dancy popup UI that makes their
users happier.<br>

<br>
Yes sure....and if we are at it, lets take out the doors from our banks
and post offices because customers indicated that they are more
comfortable with entering the buildings without doors.<br>
