As the author of consumers I have never seen the point of 2.0<br>Yadis and XRDS in 1.1 was welcome and a great improvement over <link>, but XRI seems like something evil to me. Yes, 2.0 is about more than XRI, but on the usage end, at least for my apps, there's not much difference.
<br>I use the JanRain libraries for everything, so eventually I'll upgrade to the newest versions and end up 2.0 compatible -- I just am not motivated to bother at this point because what I have works.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

All,<br><br>Over the last several weeks, I have tried [1][2] to ask<br>the list to clarify into the state of the current OpenID<br>2.0 specification draft.<br><br>There seems to be little interest in finalizing 2.0. The<br>
current draft 11 is over three months old. Draft 5 dates<br>back over ten months, and who knows when draft 1 was<br>penned!<br><br>Let's try to see if we can figure out something here:<br><br>* Do you see anything *negative* around finalizing
2.0?<br><br>* With 2.0 RP implementations almost non-existent in the<br> field after more than ten months of spec work -- is there<br> even a need for 2.0?<br><br>* If you have a RP: why are you waiting with implementing
<br> 2.0? Is 1.1 good enough? Are you waiting for the spec<br> to be final? Do security concerns hold you back?<br><br>While I appreciate the free flowing spirit of the OpenID<br>spec work, I do believe there now is an acute need for
<br>timelines and imposed processes: Deadlines beget progress.<br>Interop events ensure interoperability. And so on...<br><br>Anyone agree/disagree? Let's hear it.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Hans<br><br><br>[1] <a href="http://openid.net/pipermail/specs/2007-March/001389.html">
