Speaking as a community member, this would be a very useful document to have, for many, many reasons. So +1. Interest and adoption of OpenID and related technologies has grown far beyond where heroic individuals can say "trust me, I understand the problem." and the rest of the market follows. Or forks, as we currently seem to be in danger of. It's time to institutionalize things and having a shared MRD would be an essential ingredient for that. Regards, Johannes.
