[Openid-specs-ab] Attribute Exchange w/ OpenID Connect?

Interesting.

Perhaps we can define something that request anonymous or ephemeral
user_id, which will be different for every authentication request.
I suppose using "acr" would be good. We have defined 1,2,3,4, and will be
registered to IANA registry. Perhaps defining "anonymous" to the registry
would also be good.

Having said that: unless the user has explicitly opted out from cookie, the
RP can actually track the user pretty much on the device.
And, even if the RP does not use cookie, a browser typically has 11bits or
so of entropy, so it still can track the user pretty much.
Relying just on technology may be a bit misleading in this sense as it may
create a false impression of being not tracked.
