Automatically sharing profile/avatar pic (with user consent) definitely adds a lot of value to both users and RPs, and profile pic was one of the most frequently requested attributes that we heard from potential RPs.

The Yahoo OP currently shares the URL to the user’s Yahoo Profile pic, however, the pic does not automatically get updated when the user updates their Yahoo Profile pic.

One of the things that I’d like to clarify in AX 1.1 is whether or not RPs should be able to deep link directly to the profile pic, or if they’re expected to download and cache it themselves. Also, if RPs are able to deep link to the profile pic, then we should also define whether or not the content of the URL be updated when the user updates their pic.

This would be a schema discussion.

One could make URLs that are updated one type and ones that are not, another.
