Yes! Thanks, Dick. (I was too shy to propose this.)<br><br>
Let's do that. We have enough radically different meanings for
'identity' already, let's try to use 'identifier' when we mean
identifier.<br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""><font size=3>Perhaps in changing
what the parameter contains, we can rename it, and keep openid.identity
for backward compatibility?</font></blockquote><br>
Courtesy demands accommodating the fine folks who did all the OpenID 1.0
implementations. (Unless they are content to drop
openid.identity.) Barest backward compatibility will do the
job: openid.identity is deprecated, however, if openid.identifier
is missing and openid.identity is present, the value of openid.identity
will be used as the openid.identifier.<br><br>
