</div>Breno, do you think somebody at Google can perhaps update the<br>
documentation <<a href="http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OpenID.html" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OpenID.html</a>><br>
to make it more clear to everybody what all of these Google-specific<br>
behaviors are that we've been discussing in this thread?</blockquote><div><br>We prefer to keep our main documentation pretty simple and post more detailed guidance in the API forum. However, some of the points made here deserve placement in the main documentation.<br>
<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
<br>
It mentions the RP must store OAuth values, but says nothing of AX attributes.</blockquote><div><br>This should be documented in the main API. Thanks.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
Also it doesn't talk about the specifics, such as attributes you've never<br>
asked for before (or Google doesn't support) will still be returned when<br>
you later do ask (or Google starts supporting); or how Google<br>
interprets the if_available list in terms of the user's choice.</blockquote><div><br> </div><div>In the description of how to use AX, we have the following entry:<br><br><code>openid.ext1.required</code> (required)
Specifies the attribute being requested. Currently, the only valid
value is "email". This parameter must be set or Google will ignore the
request.<p><br></p><p>In terms of "attributes you' ve never seen before" I think the better time to change the documentation is when announcing support for additional attributes. With a single supported attribute this point is mute.<br>
</p><p><br></p></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
<br>
Also, do you have any insight if/when Google may support additional<br>
attributes? Some of the most universal and immediately useful and<br>
perhaps the least controversial would be the time zone and language<br>
attributes:<br>
<a href="http://axschema.org/pref/timezone/" target="_blank">http://axschema.org/pref/timezone/</a><br>
<a href="http://axschema.org/pref/language/" target="_blank">http://axschema.org/pref/language/</a></blockquote><div><br>Eh. I cannot comment on future plans, but you can see that Plaxo's experimental UI includes language support and first/last name support, as well as country.<br>
