Appending a fragment at least will help the RP distinguish between identifiers. And in the short term it has the merit of not requiring any spec changes.<br><br>But I still would like to see a group membership claim kept separate from the identity claim, perhaps via the claim discovery I described in the other thread.<br clear="all">

My previous post on pseudonymous identifier seemed to have kicked off<br>
interesting but orthogonal discussion of identifier for group of<br>
individuals (like school class, friends, etc.)<br>
<br>
Please use this thread instead for this discussion.<br>
<br>
Just to put an context to the discussion, I can put one deployed<br>
example of this type of identifier use.<br>
<br>
mixi, the largest Japanese SNS, is using the concept of "group identifier."<br>
<br>
For example, to prove you are a friend of mine, you can authenticate<br>
with the identifier<br>
<br>
<a href="https://id.mixi.jp/nat/friend" target="_blank">https://id.mixi.jp/nat/friend</a><br>
<br>
The verified identifier would be something like<br>
<a href="https://id.mixi.jp/nat/friend#hashOfYourId" target="_blank">https://id.mixi.jp/nat/friend#hashOfYourId</a> etc.,<br>
if I rememer right.<br>
<br>
As you can see, it requires no change in the OpenID AuthN 2.0 nor an extension.<br>
<br>
Anyways.. my 2c.<br>
