A Vote authorized by the foundation must be conducted to decide whether<br>
Email Like identifiers will be in the core spec of OpenID 2.1.<br>
If that is not possible the foundation must officially announce whether<br>
Email like identifiers will be in the Core Spec of 2.1.<br>
<br>
This will greatly help people decide, how and on what to spend their time<br>
and effort, and will also ensure that their time and effort does not go to<br>
waste.<br>
<br>
I also see an urgency in this matter because ideally I would like to see 2.1<br>
come out soon because there will be Wave servers being released by the last<br>
quarter of the year. If we can have 2.1 before that we will be in a position<br>
to offer OpenID as an alternative. Otherwise I am sure XMPP authentication<br>
will grow into a Federated authentication.<br>
