Well, based on that sentence alone, it's perhaps useless. What happens
before, after, behind, under and above that specific act (proving the
control of a URI)?<br>
<br>
But sincerely, I don't believe, that anyone involved at OpenID has this
sentence in mind when speaking, defining, planning and discussing
OpenID. This is not what Dick from SXIP has in mind and that's not what
you and I am thinking...or am I mistaken on this assumption?<br>
<br>
And if this is not the real definition of OpenID (Your sentence below),
than we perhaps need get back to the basics and fundamentals and start
to define these things...Anybody?<br>

Oh no....Don't change the name...address the issues! RP's which make
use of OpenID are moving the authentication part to the IDP! That's
the first and most important feature of OpenID. Or can you or anybody
else tell me, what OpenID is all about (there is also a Topic called
Fundamentals, perhaps this question belongs to the same category).<br>
