Auth flows for web widgets?

[Allen Tom]

My best guess for when the WG will be formed is at the end of March, 
after the OpenID Membership votes (and hopefully approves) the formation 
of the WG. Given that it took 6 weeks to create the WG, we'd probably 
want to spend a week writing the spec before sending it out, so I'd 
expect it to be out sometime around April 10th.
