(moved over to the specs list, since it hasn't had enough traffic lately)

I think it'd be great to put what we have out as OpenID 1.2. That way,
the debate and proposals here can continue, while we can start
implementing the features that we already know we want and are already
specified.

This should be good for the people (like me) who want to get a better
revision out to users and the community as soon as possible. It should
also be good for the people who have changes that they want to make,
since changes could be debated solely on their merits and not on how
late it is in the specification process.

Also, it reserves the number 2.0 for the "final" version of the protocol <wink/>
