<p class="MsoNormal">Not only that, but Persona had some very good aspects to it that we as a working group would be silly to ignore. I know that many in the working group here have been following Persona (and BrowserID before it) for a while, but now is probably
a good time to look at it holistically and find out what worked and what didn't, and adopt all of the best ideas that make sense. Like, what if we could leverage a browser extension to start an OpenID Connect flow, but without getting rid of the ability to
use it without browser extensions? This might be particularly desirable for the self-issued IdP use case, as well.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
