accessibility

[Chris Messina]

Hi Clayton,
Have you guys looked at hcard, Portable Contacts and the like? Have you
thought about how this might work with OpenID?

I know that some sites are already doing the kind of profile filling that
you're talking about, and I know that Information Cards are intended to also
facilitate the same kind of solution.

What have you found in the wild that's approximating what you're working on?

Chris
