OpenID Connect as currently envisioned misses many of the internet identity
use cases.
And covers most of the ones desired by those currently implementing OpenID.
While we're all trying to pinpoint what OpenID (v.Next) versus OAuth
versus OpenID Connect is *envisioned* to do (not necessarily what it
*does*), might I suggest that this is more of a philosophical
question than a practical one? I would also add that I saw this
separation coming, and posted to the General list recently hoping
that, by asking such a question, the community would enjoy clarity
and therefore focus. Though the question seems more appropriate there
than here, I will sum it up: what is OpenID that uniquely attracts us
to *it* instead of (or in addition to) the alternatives?
