HA! BullShit!

You know what?. I am beginning to believe that we need get the browser vendors 
to the OpenID community. Yes Google and Microsoft are already here, but i don't 
think they are here in the capacity of "browser vendors". We also need the 
mozilla, opera, safari guys.

And Mozilla has really been doing some good work in this area. Here is a link.

Coming out of some conversations at IIW today I've made some changes to the 
proposal. Patch is attached, but they are:
 - Allow passing in `user_id` as a hint when not using immediate mode in the 
request.
 - Continue to allow users to enter URLs, email addresses, and click buttons 
but the returned user identifier must be a HTTPS URI.
 - Include the expiration time within the signature.
 - Clarify how you verify if the token endpoint is authoritative for a given 
user identifier.
 - Simplify discovery by removing LRDD and using host-meta to determine the 
server token endpoint on a per domain (or sub-domain) basis. We're having a 
hard time finding use cases of running multiple different OpenID servers per 
domain.
 - Remove the separate user info API endpoint and instead make the user 
identifiers a protected resource. Fetch the user identifier with an access 
token and it returns basic profile information as well as if the access token 
was issued by that specific user.

Thanks for all of the feedback and support both virtually and in person! I'm 
planning to move this proposal into GitHub next week (and work with Eran to 
actually format it like a spec) so that changes are easier to keep track of.
