</div>I'd love to see the minimum viable list of features for an internet identity system now in 2011, and get some agreement on those. Arguably one of the failures of OpenID 2 has been that there was never any agreement on those, so everybody implemented a different subset.<br>

I realize I have a hard time commenting on the Connect work until it is clear what this minimum set of features is supposed to be. Perhaps that is documented somewhere and I just haven't seen it?<br>
