Regardless of how we get the technologies to work with each other, from an adoption perspective it seems like we do need to have a clear and consistent message on how RPs and end users can leverage all the benefits of OpenID, OAuth, WRAP, Portable Contacts, SREG/AX, Activity Streams, etc. in a robust and reliable way. Facebook has done a great job providing a turnkey solution for website operators and end users that provides benefits to both stakeholders. The open standards-based alternatives need to offer similarly compelling functionality and ease of deployment/use to see increased success in the market. What suggestions do folks have on how we achieve that?

(Was: Re: board Digest, Vol 37, Issue 10) As one of the authors of OAuth-WRAP let me just say that rewriting OpenID as a profile of WRAP is a bad idea, especially from a marketing and perception perspective. However, I do think that we need a way for RPs to access the user's data via API, and some sort of WRAP integration does seem to make sense.
