Ha, thanks Santosh.  I tried.  : )  Ultimately I'm okay with where XRD
landed.

No, I personally don't believe this *needs* to be called OpenID Connect.
 Rather, I see this as an opportunity for the OpenID community to show its
strengths by helping whatever-it-is-called Connect succeed.  Would be a
wasted opportunity not to, imo.
