Nat Sakimura:

Came up at IIW. 

“Federation” sounds like another federated authentication protocol. This spec is not. \(Mike J.\)

It is not only for “OpenID Connect”, but general in nature so get rid it. \(Torsten\) 

If it is not for indicating that it is working with “OpenID Connect”, the use of “OpenID\(R\)” just as a draft is not allowed. 

For a final spec, having “OpenID\(R\)” will give a legal protection against people not properly implementing the spec to claim that they are “openid xxxxxx” compliant as that will infringe the TM license agreement. \(Nat\)

Get rid of OpenID \(Torsten\)
