Concerning XEP-0101, I just answered to Richard's email on this matter. The two projects are indeed very similar, except that XEP-0101 is written as being tied to HTTP, whereas DIAS defines the ticket exchange and the HTTP authentication in distinct documents, thus enabling to use the ticket system on other channels than an HTTP communication. The main difference with XEP-0070 is that the latter identifies the user _after_ the request, i.e. it is a verification, whereas XEP-0101 and DIAS do it before. Also, XEP-0070 is HTTP-specific. > (I haven't yet had a > chance to read your docs...) I didn't read the OpenID spec from a merging perspective ; I will. -- David
