Allen, But, wouldn't that assume that every user who has a gmail.com or yahoo.com email address uses Google or Yahoo, respectively, for OpenID?
By having a separate user-specific XDS document, one could specify what one's OpenID URL -- a URL that could be outside of either of those domains. I liked Google's reply to the web finger query. It said "Let's do this!" Indeed, let's. I like this idea. Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: Allen Tom [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Sunday, January 24, 2010 9:19 PM > To: Paul E.
