The POST response is a good point and clearly a valid use case, and I think=
it=92s supported no matter what we decide to do. It=92s possible to build =
a receiver that handles POST params if they are present, but otherwise serv=
es up the correct cache headers and Javascript to handle the GET. That woul=
d provide a performance boost in the common case, while still being fully c=
ompatible with the spec.</span></font></div>
</blockquote><div><br>I would add that, in the case of checkid_immediate, i=
t is not advisable to have many extensions. Each request to release an attr=
ibute increases the odds that the user will need to be prompted to approve =
the request, and therefore decreases the chance of success of a checkid_imm=
ediate request.<br>
<br>As Luke pointed out, checkid_immediate stands to gain most from the lat=
ency improvements.<br>=A0</div><blockquote class=3D"gmail_quote" style=3D"b=
