</span></div><div>In terms of more background on the evolving discovery standards, the best information is actually on a blog run by Eran Hammer-Lahav at Yahoo who has led a lot of the work in this space. Here is a hyperlink which will show you all the blog posts he has done about "discovery" and he has done a good job of trying to provide background.</div>

<div>We do still want more community discussions about discovery, and its application to OpenID. W<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; ">hile these standards are being refined, we are providing a proof-of-concept implementation of a next-generation OpenID discovery protocol. While some of the details of this proof-of-concept-implementation are different from what the eventual standards are likely to look like (e.g., we're using XRDS instead of XRD for discovery documents, and are using temporary namespaces), we believe all the necessary pieces are there.
