<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">What I had proposed before was a translation using NAPTR records
in DNS. For example, for my own ID (<a href="http://openid.packetizer.com/paulej" target="_blank">http://openid.packetizer.com/paulej</a>)
would be translated using the NAPTR record as shown below:</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D">@ IN NAPTR 100 10 "u" "E2U+OpenID"

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I actually put this record into the DNS for <a href="http://packetizer.com" target="_blank">packetizer.com</a>, so
you can see it. This does a simple translation from an email address
style to a URL. It has the proposed service type “E2U+OpenID”.
Using NAPTR records and email addresses would be entirely optional, of course: some
users may not have the same OP as the entity providing email service.
But, I think this would be very useful for those who do, including any
enterprises that might want to use OpenID internally.</span></p>
