John,<br><br>Have a look at OAuth (<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/oauth">http://groups.google.com/group/oauth</a>). I think it's currently a private google group, but it seems like you've given a lot of thought to this type of thing, so I'm sure the group owners would welcome your input. There's a lot of activity going on over there.

I have created a draft of a new specification that I think will help to fill a gap in OpenID functionality.<br><br>What
appears to be a newer productivity feature of many websites is the
ability to import and utilize information from other sites. For
instance, Basecamp
provides an API that allows other systems to access user data.
This is a great feature, but it currently cannot be done with OpenID,
due to the dependence on end-user interaction during the authentication
process.<br><br>The
Trusted Authentication Extension provides for the ability
for an OpenID Consumer to log in to another OpenID Consumer without
user interaction. The end user will be able to create a trusted
connection between two OpenID enabled sites, which will allow a client
site to access a destination site using the end user's Identity. <br><br>Please provide your comments and feedback, as they are most appreciated.
