<FONT FACE="Book Antiqua"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>The only difference, e.g., between an Open AX URL attribute and an IMI-infocard URL claim is who’s authoritative over minting it. The question for the OIDF is this: Are the benefits of being able to be authoritative over the attribute URL minting process, greater than the benefits of letting go of that authority and increasing interoperability in the overall open identity ecosystem?<BR>

PS: The ICF said, hey we need a place for folks using the IMI protocol to know where the attribute URLs are listed. So we created [1] along with a very light-weight email-based process for getting new URIs added. It all works fine. This is clearly one way to answer the above question.<BR>

Perhaps the OIDF should take over running it? We should try to have an official process (hopefully very lightweight) for adding new attributes.<BR>

+100 for making the urls shorter, since AX responses usually exceed the 2KB URL limit, and have to be sent via POST, causing UX issues. (browser warnings if the RP doesn't support HTTPS, an extra "white page" with the form and the button, JS dependency, etc)<BR>

axschema.org is shorter then schemas.openid.net and implies the <BR>
schemas could be used for things other then OpenID<BR>
<BR>
given that though, I don't have a strong preference<BR>

As I recall the idea was to move the URI to use schemas.openid.net.<BR>
<BR>
Is that still the preferred option from your point of view, or do <BR>
you see axshema.org continuing in some way?<BR>
