Invariably, it will evolve, and will require version number etc. so, it seems better to me to have one from the beginning. <br>
<br>e.g., <br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204, 204, 204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div>If you use '_' as the namespace delimiter, then '_' should be disallowed in the parameter name, which is not the case right now. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><div class="im"><div><br></div><br><blockquote type="cite">
So, we could do something like: <br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204, 204, 204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

openid.client_id ...</blockquote><br>The same applies for OpenID. For an unknown reason, though OpenID has namespace so that we write: <br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204, 204, 204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
openid.ns= <a href="http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0" target="_blank">http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0</a></blockquote><br>the prefix "openid" is fixed. We should be able to change it like: <br><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204, 204, 204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
wrap.ns=<a href="http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0" target="_blank">http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0</a></blockquote><br>Now, the third point. <br><br>Could we not try to harmonize the variable names between the two specs? <br>
<br>OpenID is in use widely, so it is kind of hard to change it, </blockquote><div><br></div></div>Interesting assumption. At IIW we discussed OpenID v Next that was NOT backward compatible. It would seem that there is an oppportunity to make changes to OpenID as well as OAuth WRAP.</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>yes. The above also requires changes on the OpenID side, but I am seeing an opportunity to make the transition smoother. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><div class="im"><br><blockquote type="cite">so I would request Wrap community to come closer. <br></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>WRAP followed OAuth, which has much broader adoption from what I know than OpenID</div>
<div class="im"><div><br></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Arguably yes, but at the same time, 'wrap_' is not 'oauth_' ;-)</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><div class="im"><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><br></div><div>IMHO, we should try to harmonize/unite instead of fragmenting. <br></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div>
