Popup flow

[Allen Tom]

Hi Steven,

Yes, we should restructure the UI Extension a bit. As you've probably 
suspected, it started off narrowly defined as the "Popup Extension" and 
then we realized that there's a general class of User Interface issues 
that need to be resolved. It is *very* difficult to setup an OpenID 
working group, so rather than incurring the overhead of spinning up 
another WG for Mobile, and yet another for Language Pref, we wanted to 
just have a single WG to tackle User Interface issues.

The UI Extension is intended to be modular and extensible, making it 
possible to add new UI modes in the future.

Thanks
Allen

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.
