Popup flow

[Jonathan Coffman]

Hey all, as my developers work on our OpenID implementation (private  
OP/white-listed RP's for the time being) I'm going through various  
options for the user's authentication flow.

In seeing Yahoo's announcement of their pop-up flow, and Google's  
previous migration -- is this quickly becoming the defacto standard?

Some of my stakeholders are asking for a templated/co-branded  
experience so that users, when redirected, see a logo, etc from the RP  
on the sign-up/log-in page for our OP. Obviously, that's not too  
difficult to do but I feel like the whole argument might be overcome  
with a simplified OP design by utilizing the popup draft spec.

Any strong opinions either way?
