[step2] OpenID Popup Extension - Draft 0

[Dirk Balfanz]

Hi Allen,

thanks for putting this together. Two comments:

(1) Why are the height and width sent in the request? Isn't the OP
gonna know how big its popup window is (window.innerWidth and
window.innerHeight)?
(2) Can we kill two birds with one stone here and make this the UX (as
opposed to popup) extension, and add stuff like language?

Something like this:

openid.ns.ux = http://specs.openid.net/extensions/ux/1.0
openid.ux.style = popup
openid.ux.language = en_NZ

What do you think?

Dirk.
