This is a business question.

Some people on this list have the goal of lowering the barriers to  
participation into an internet identity ecosystem by as many parties  
as possible. Having more consistent schemas across more technologies  
would help with that. (LDAP, anybody? You get my drift ...)

Some people on this list have the goal of creating a business out of  
bridging non-interoperable islands. Having more schemas that need to  
be reconciled by a 3rd party would help with that.

Both are legitimate points of view.

Notice that whichever way this discussion goes, the result will favor  
one of those groups over the other... Looking forward to which way it  
will go ...

Cheers,



Johannes.
