Modularizing Auth 2.0 Discovery

[Recordon, David]

I'd like to stay away from changing it much, but I do agree there are
some warts which have been found.  Also by taking advantage of things in
the XRDS schema which exist now such as the LocalID element we'd be able
to remove the OpenID XMLNS for example.

+1

does this open up the potential to change Yadis?  I certainly found the
spec confusing on a few points when I first read it i.e.

1) Two xml namespaces, why?
2) Confusing namespace names, "xri://$xrd*($v*2.0)" this is just plain
confusing for someone not familiar with i-names.
3) Then finally this text "If a Yadis XRDS includes more than one XRD
element, the Yadis Resource Descriptor is the last XRD element. A
Relying Party Agent MAY ignore other XRD elements." Again, just confused
me, couldn't see the point of the seemingly redundant <xrd> element or
understand when there would be more than one.
