If you're going to formalize identity migration, please consider extending it to handle "identity linkage". Users might want to tell an RP to treat two different identities as identical for a number of reasons, including migration. For instance, I might want to link a Yahoo and Google identity if I feared that one of those companies might shut down operation in my country, or if I planned to travel to some country where one of those OPs was likely to be unreachable. If I primarily use Google and find myself blocked by some Great Firewall, it won't help me to have a strict "migration" path, but it would be great if I could link my Google identity before I leave, at least for the RP sites I care most about. -Peter _______________________________________________ specs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openid.net/mailman/listinfo/openid-specs
