Given the logic, should i guess now that google don't want the users to have op portability, and just "opted out" of that bit of discovery, intentionally breaking the delegation support in their op?<br></blockquote>

2.1 will drop delegation and xri, is my prediction. Xri (and hxri) will go completely and supporting portability will be made optional.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I certainly would prefer that delegation not be dropped, and will fight to prevent that from happening. Delegation is apparently one of the more challenging aspects of the spec as well, but I think with XRD-based discovery, it can stay — and should.</div>
