I believe we should make the above a bit more 'normative' for what  
the discovery elements should contain, rather than just warning RPs  
about what they MAY encounter. The qualifier for backwards  
compatibility is SHOULD / RECOMMENDED through the rest of the spec,  
so I propose we replace your text with:

That was fast :-)

Looks good, but I would add to that a sentence stating that you  
SHOULD put both sets of tags when editing HTML pages in order to be  
backwards compatible.

The new attribute values are needed in order to signal an OpenID 2
provider.

But you bring up a good point, backwards compatibility can be easily
broken here.

In order to be backwards compatible the HTML page should have two sets
of tags one for OpenID 1.1 and one for OpenID 2.0, both pointing to the
same OP endpoint URL. Otherwise an OpenID 1.1 RP will not be able to use
the HTML page.

Probably the spec should say this in section 7.3.3 and give clear
instructions regarding OpenID 1.1 tags.

Hey Dmitry,
When using Yadis you're able to advertise if you're speaking OpenID 1.1
or 2.0 and thus the RP know which version of the protocol the request
should be made in.  When using HTML-Based Discovery this is not possible
unless the attributes are renamed or a third "version" tag is added
which was not the preferred option.

7.3.3. HTML-Based Discovery

A  tag MUST be included with attributes "rel" set to
openid2.provider"
and "href" set to an OP Endpoint URL

A  tag MAY be included with attributes "rel" set to
"openid2.local_id"
and "href" set to the end user's OP-Local Identifier


Could somebody please enlighten me as to what's wrong with leaving those
as "openid.server" and "openid.delegate" respectfully (i.e.
backward-compatible)?

Please no talk of OpenID 3!  If anything, 2.1 or the "next version". :)

I understand, but at that time, as now, I was trying to get the spec to
be finished. We've been in something of an informal feature-freeze for a
while. Perhaps we should have explicit feature-freezes.

I'd suggest starting an OpenID 3 thread to talk about the features that
you want to add. That way, you can start trying to convince people that
your features should go in without having to battle with people like me
who just want to have a stable spec release with the improvements that
we already have.
