[step2] Re: OpenID Popup Extension - Draft 0

[Breno]

Yes, I agree that we do not need to send the window geometry in the request.
This can be auto-detected by the OP.
It is more interesting to see if we can advertize the size of windows
favored by the OP. For instance, we might want to have windows smaller than
450 for smart phones that are less screen state-rich than the iPhone.

If matching "Type" in URLs was restricted to the path component, we could
have

<Type>http://.../popup?width=450&height=550</Type>

in the OP's discovery document. Maybe we can declare that XRD parsing should
match type ignoring query, and then for backward-compatibility, we could add
two types:
<Type>http://.../popup</Type>
<Type>http://.../popup?width=450&height=550</Type>

Or more generally (if the OP provides a choice of configurations):

<Type>http://.../popup</Type>
<Type>http://.../popup?width=450&height=550</Type>
<Type>http://.../popup?width=300&height=400</Type>

This way, RPs using parsing libraries that only do exact string matching
would still be able to discovery support of the feature, and may use the
default recommended size, while RPs using libraries that match type only to
the path could also extract the OP's supported geometries.
