I posted this note at http://self-issued.info/?p=1137 and on Twitter as
@selfissued to raise awareness that the time to do a final review of the OpenID
Connect specs is now.

OpenID Connect Specs Nearing Completion
Based on feedback from developers, the OpenID
Connect<http://openid.net/connect/> working group decided to replace the OpenID
Connect Messages<http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-messages-1_0-20.html>
and OpenID Connect
Standard<http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-standard-1_0-21.html>
specifications with a new OpenID Connect
Core<http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0-13.html> specification
that combines the contents from both of them before finishing OpenID Connect.
The content has also been restructured to separate Authentication from other
features such as Claims and to have separate Authentication sections for the
different OAuth 2.0 flows. No changes to the protocol were made. The
publication of this new spec is another major step towards finishing OpenID
Connect.
Please review this and the other OpenID Connect specifications in the coming
week. While a few local changes will still be made this week to address issues
that have been
identified<https://bitbucket.org/openid/connect/issues?status=new&status=open&sort=-id>
since the approval of the Implementer's
Drafts<http://self-issued.info/?p=1095>, I fully expect that the working group
will decide at the in-person working group
meeting<http://openid-wg-oct-2013.eventbrite.com/> just over a week from now
that it's time to publish proposed final specifications.
Thanks to Nat Sakimura for producing a proof-of-concept document
restructuring<http://nat.sakimura.org/2013/08/27/refactoring-openid-connect-drafts/>
that the structure of the current OpenID Connect
Core<http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0-13.html> spec is based
upon. And thanks to Torsten Lodderstedt for convincing us that the specs will
be clearer by better separating the descriptions of logically distinct features
while combining previously separate descriptions of highly interrelated
functionality.
