You're right - my brain must have left out the portion you emphasized,
since it didn't use to be there.

I thought PAPE was not meant to be compatible with 1.1, exactly for the
reasons you outlined in the initial message.

Not sure what the best approach would be here: specify how PAPE could be
used with OpenID 1.1, or leave it as an incentive to upgrade to 2.0.
